Disaster Response. A disaster or emergency under Section 106 is one declared by the President of the United States, tribal government, or the governor of the state of other immediate threat to life or property. Procedures addressing emergency situations are outlined in the section. These procedures apply only to those undertakings that will be implemented in response to the disaster or emergency within 30 days after the disaster or emergency has been formally declared by the appropriate authority or, in the case of an immediate threat to life or property, within 30 days after such an event occurs.
a. Immediate rescues and salvage operations conducted to preserve life or property are exempt from the provisions of Section 106 (36 CFR § 800.12(d)). This exemption applies regardless of whether there has been a declared disaster or emergency. If VHCB determines that its undertaking meets the criteria for this exemption, the VHCB may take necessary actions in a timely manner to address public health and safety.
b. Undertakings that will be implemented in response to a formally declared emergency within 30 days of the declaration shall be reviewed in accord with the project review process described elsewhere in this Programmatic Agreement, including paragraphs V(1), V(3), V(4), and V(5) but with an expedited timeframe to at least allow notification and some opportunity for consultation to the extent that such notice and consultation can be conducted without endangering people’s lives or property. This includes consideration of appropriate mitigation measures in the event of an adverse effect. Written notification of the emergency action being considered shall be provided to SHPO, including information on the proposed action, the potential effects to historic properties, a description of the avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures, if any, for the effects of the undertaking on historic properties and the timeframe available for comment.

Should a disaster involving Hawaiian occur, both parties shall carry out their respective duties under the Disaster Response Plan.
(c) Hawaiian and America West shall cooperate to accomplish all training and preparation necessary for their compliance with the Act and the Disaster Response Plan.

The plan shall be exercised three times per calendar year. One exercise shall be conducted outside of normal business hours. Cumulative exercise results shall be compiled and an internal assessment conducted with each exercise. These findings shall be filed with the WCEO. During a man-made or natural disaster, (i.e., ice, snow, wind, flooding, earthquake or multiple patient scene or mass casualty incident), a declared emergency by an appropriate governmental agency, or any other situation as determined by the County, Metro West Ambulance’s normal mode of operation shall be enhanced or otherwise modified in order to provide services which are appropriate for the nature of the situation and which are collaborative with local disaster plans and protocols. If, despite the best efforts of Metro West Ambulance, the disaster/situation necessarily impairs Metro West Ambulance’s ability to conform to the requirements of this agreement, as determined in good faith and reasonably by the County, Metro West Ambulance shall not be subject to penalty or declared in breach. During the course of the disaster/situation, emergency (Code 3) responses associated with this agreement shall take priority over non-emergency ( Code 2) services. In the event of a man-made or natural disaster, (i.e., ice, snow, wind, flooding, earthquake or mass casualty incident) a declared emergency by an appropriate governmental agency, or any other situation as determined by the County, Metro West Ambulance shall not bill the County for additional costs unless a federal or state source of funds are available, or the County determines that billing is appropriate under the circumstances. Metro West Ambulance shall not include in its cost statement any charges for services rendered by volunteer employees. The cost statement associated with rendering aid under disaster conditions shall be based entirely upon the actual costs incurred by Metro West Ambulance in the course of rendering such disaster assistance, and shall not include costs of maintaining production capacity that would have normally been borne by Metro West Ambulance had the disaster not occurred.
