 §935. Purpose and authorities - Article I The International Emergency Management Assistance Compact, referred to in this chapter as the "compact," is made and entered into by and between the participating member jurisdictions that enact this compact, referred to in this chapter as "party jurisdictions." The following states and provinces are eligible to become members of this compact: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Hampshire, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Rhode Island and Vermont.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]The purpose of this compact is to provide for mutual assistance between the party jurisdictions entering into this compact in managing any emergency or disaster when the governor or premier of the affected jurisdiction or jurisdictions asks for assistance, whether arising from natural disaster, technological hazard, man-made disaster or civil emergency aspects of resource shortages.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]This compact also provides for mutual cooperation in emergency related exercises, testing or other training activities using equipment and personnel simulating performance of any aspect of the giving and receiving of aid by party jurisdictions or subdivisions of party jurisdictions during emergencies, with such actions occurring outside actual declared emergency periods. Mutual assistance in this compact may include the use of emergency forces by mutual agreement between the party jurisdictions.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]SECTION HISTORY PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).

 §936. General implementation - Article II Each party jurisdiction entering into this compact recognizes that many emergencies transcend political jurisdictional boundaries and that intergovernmental coordination is essential in managing these and other emergencies under this compact. Each party jurisdiction further recognizes that there will be emergencies that require immediate access and present procedures to apply outside resources to make a prompt and effective response to such an emergency because few, if any, individual party jurisdictions have all the resources they need in all types of emergencies or the capability of delivering resources to areas where emergencies exist.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]The prompt, full and effective utilization of resources of the participating party jurisdictions, including any resources on hand or available from any other source that are essential to the safety, care and welfare of the people in the event of any emergency or disaster declared by a party jurisdiction, must be the underlying principle on which all articles of this compact are understood.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]On behalf of the governor of each state or premier of each province participating in the compact, the legally designated official who is assigned responsibility for emergency management is responsible for formulation of the appropriate interjurisdictional mutual aid plans and procedures necessary to implement this compact.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]SECTION HISTORY PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).

 §938. Limitation - Article IV Any party jurisdiction requested to render mutual aid or conduct exercises and training for mutual aid shall take such action as is necessary to provide and make available the resources covered by this compact in accordance with the terms of this compact, except that it is understood that the party jurisdiction rendering aid may withhold resources to the extent necessary to provide reasonable protection for that party jurisdiction. Each party jurisdiction shall afford to the emergency forces of any party jurisdiction, while operating within its jurisdiction limits under the terms and conditions of this compact and under the control of an officer of the requesting party jurisdiction, the same powers, duties, rights, privileges and immunities as are afforded similar or like forces of the party jurisdiction in which they are performing emergency services. Emergency forces continue under the command and control of their regular leaders, but the organizational units come under the operational control of the emergency services authorities of the party jurisdiction receiving assistance. These conditions may be activated, as needed, by the party jurisdiction that is to receive assistance or commencement of exercises or training for mutual aid and continue as long as the exercises or training for mutual aid are in progress, the emergency or disaster remains in effect or loaned resources remain in the receiving party jurisdiction or jurisdictions, whichever is longer.   [PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).]SECTION HISTORY PL 1999, c. 696, §1 (NEW).
