Emergency Management Assistance Compact Sample Clauses

Emergency Management Assistance Compact. (EMAC) Membership In support of the Goal, EMPG recipients must belong to, be located in, or act as temporary member states of EMAC, except for American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not currently required to belong to EMAC. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2015 EMPG Program funding must, where applicable, be readily deployable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Prior to allocation of any Federal preparedness awards in FY 2015, recipients must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. Emergency management and incident response activities require carefully managed resources (personnel, teams, facilities, equipment and/or supplies) to meet incident needs. Utilization of the standardized resource management concepts such as typing, credentialing, and inventorying promote a strong national mutual aid capability needed to support delivery of core capabilities. Additional information on resource management and NIMS resource typing definitions and job titles/position qualifications is available under xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/resource-management-mutual-aid. FEMA developed the NIMS Guideline for Credentialing of Personnel to describe national credentialing standards and to provide written guidance regarding the use of those standards. This guideline describes credentialing and typing processes, and identifies tools which Federal Emergency Response Officials (FEROs) and emergency managers at all levels of government may use both routinely and to facilitate multijurisdictional coordinated responses. Although state, local, tribal, and private sector partners—including nongovernmental organizations—are not required to credential their personnel in accordance with these guidelines, FEMA strongly encourages them to do so in order to leverage Federal investment in the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 201 infrastructure and to facilitate interoperability for personnel deployed outside their home jurisdiction. Additional information is available from the NIMS Guideline for the Credentialing of Personnel. Maintenance of Effort There is no Maintenance of Effort requirement for this program. Cost Match Criteria A cost match is required under this program. The Federal share that is used towards the EMPG Program budget shall not ex...

All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2022 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed, when possible, to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission Area of the Goal, and fusion centers.

Emergency Management Assistance Compact. The Emergency Management Assistance Compact is a national interstate mutual aid compact that facilitates the sharing of resources, personnel, and equipment across state lines during times of disaster and emer- gency. EMAC was legislated by each member state legislature and governor and ratified and signed into law by the U.S. Congress (P.L. 104-321) in 1996.1 The 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have enacted EMAC legislation.2 EMAC is envisioned as the cornerstone of national mutual aid, intended to facilitate the efficient and effective sharing of resources between member states during times of emergencies or disasters affect- ing a member state. In 1992, Hurricane Xxxxxx slammed into Florida. In response, the Southern Governors Association began development of a mutual aid compact. In 1993, 17 governors signed the Southern Region Emergency Management Assistance Compact, later expanded to EMAC, the first national compact since the Civil Defense Act of 1950. EMAC was activated for the first time during Hurricane Opal in 1995, with the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) assuming the role of administrator (Bea 2006; Kapucu 2005; NEMA 2006b, 2000; Xxxx 2003; Xxxxxxxxx 2002). Currently, all 50 states, the Dis- trict of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin islands are members of EMAC. The compact is ad- ministered by NEMA and includes key provisions for reimbursement, liability, and workers compensation (NEMA 2006b). EMAC establishes an implementation plan whereby member states agree to standard operating procedures for requesting and providing assistance. EMAC requires that the legislatures of each member state ratify the compact language, which eliminates confusion over who is a member of the compact and provides a legal framework to facilitate assistance and reimbursement. EMAC addresses all of the issues associated with re- questing assistance, reimbursement of services, workers’ compensation, insurance, and liability in advance of a disaster (Xxxxxxxx 2006; Xxxxxxxxx 2002). EMAC allows states to assist each other with some certainty of the expectations and responsibilities involved, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of them doing so at con- siderably reduced risk of suit or great expense. EMAC activation, in simplified terms, occurs in four steps: (1) a disaster occurs, and a state governor de- clares a state of emergency; (2) the state emergency management agency assesses the state’s ...

Emergency Management Assistance Compact. (EMAC)‌ Per Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 5502.4, the purpose of this compact is to provide for mutual assistance between the states entering into this compact in managing any emergency or disaster that is duly declared by the governor of the affected state(s), whether arising from natural disaster, technological hazard, man-made disaster, civil emergency aspects of resources shortages, community disorders, insurgency, or enemy attack. This compact shall also provide 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 states or subdivisions of party states during emergencies, such actions occurring outside actual declared emergency periods. The EMAC process may be used to support a Public Health Emergency at either a State, or local jurisdiction level. When local resources are exhausted, resource requests may be sent to the Ohio EMA. The process for these requests will be made in the same way as above (Authorized by the Health Commissioner and sent by the Logistics Chief to the local EMA). The local EMA Director will then forward the request to the State EMA. When the request reaches the State EMA, the state sources the resource need to IMAC, federal, private sector, volunteer, or EMAC. All EMAC requests must follow Ohio EMA instructions and procedures. The request for EMAC resources is an executive level decision. The Ohio Department of Health Director, the Director of State Department of Public Safety, the State EMA Executive Director, and the Governor’s Office decide if EMAC assistance will be sought. To request EMAC resources the Governor will declare an emergency or disaster, authorizing funds to be expended for response and recovery, and activating EMAC. The affected state’s EMAC Authorized Representative or EMAC Designated Contact opens an event in the online EMAC Operations System, alerting both the National Coordinating State and National EMA that a request for resources is likely. See also Attachment XV: EMAC Request and Fulfillment Process. RPH or SCHD may also receive a request for EMAC. Receiving states will only accept resources from the State of Ohio. For local resources to qualify as State resources, the providing agency must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Ohio EMA. Once the provision of the resource has been approved by the RPH/SCHD Health Commissioner, the asset is found and rele...
