§ 76-c. Temporary emergency jurisdiction. 1. A court of this state has   temporary  emergency  jurisdiction if the child is present in this state   and the child has been abandoned or it is necessary in an  emergency  to   protect the child, a sibling or parent of the child.2.  If  there  is  no  previous  child  custody  determination that is   entitled  to  be  enforced  under  this  article  and  a  child  custody   proceeding  has  not  been  commenced  in  a  court  of  a  state having   jurisdiction under sections seventy-six through  seventy-six-b  of  this   title,  a child custody determination made under this section remains in   effect until an order is  obtained  from  a  court  of  a  state  having   jurisdiction  under  sections  seventy-six through seventy-six-b of this   title.  Where  the  child  who  is  the  subject  of  a  child   custody   determination  under this section is in imminent risk of harm, any order   issued under this section shall remain in effect  until  a  court  of  a   state   having   jurisdiction   under   sections   seventy-six   through   seventy-six-b of this title has taken steps to assure the protection  of   the  child.  If  a  child  custody  proceeding  has  not  been or is not   commenced in a court of  a  state  having  jurisdiction  under  sections   seventy-six  through  seventy-six-b  of  this  title,  a  child  custody   determination made under this section becomes a final determination,  if   it so provides and this state becomes the home state of the child.3. If there is a previous child custody determination that is entitled   to  be  enforced  under  this article, or a child custody proceeding has   been commenced in a court of a state having jurisdiction under  sections   seventy-six  through  seventy-six-b of this title, any order issued by a   court of this state under this section  must  specify  in  the  order  a   period  that the court considers adequate to allow the person seeking an   order to obtain an  order  from  the  state  having  jurisdiction  under   sections  seventy-six  through  seventy-six-b  of  this title. The order   issued in this state remains in effect until an order is  obtained  from   the  other  state  within  the  period  specified or the period expires,   provided, however, that where the child who is the subject  of  a  child   custody  determination  under  this section is in imminent risk of harm,   any order issued under this section shall remain in effect until a court   of a  state  having  jurisdiction  under  sections  seventy-six  through   seventy-six-b  of this title has taken steps to assure the protection of   the child.4. A court of this state which has been asked to make a child  custody   determination  under  this  section,  upon  being  informed that a child   custody  proceeding  has  been  commenced  in,  or   a   child   custody   determination  has  been made by, a court of a state having jurisdiction   under sections seventy-six through seventy-six-b of  this  title,  shall   immediately  communicate  with  the  other  court. A court of this state   which  is  exercising  jurisdiction  pursuant  to  sections  seventy-six   through  seventy-six-b  of  this title, upon being informed that a child   custody  proceeding  has  been  commenced  in,  or   a   child   custody   determination has been made by, a court of another state under a statute   similar  to this section shall immediately communicate with the court of   that state to resolve the emergency, protect the safety of  the  parties   and  the child, and determine a period for the duration of the temporary   order.
