Title 37-B: DEFENSE, VETERANS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (HEADING: PL 1997, c. 455, @9 (rpr))
Chapter 16-A: INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE COMPACT (HEADING: PL 1999, c. 696, @1 (new))
§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.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
div>
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.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
div>
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.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]

Title 37-B: DEFENSE, VETERANS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (HEADING: PL 1997, c. 455, @9 (rpr))
Chapter 16-A: INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE COMPACT (HEADING: 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.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
div>
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.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
div>
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.

emergencies the party jurisdictions might jointly suffer, whether due to natural disaster, technological hazard, man-made
disaster or emergency aspects of resource shortages;
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
B. Review party jurisdictions' individual emergency plans and develop a plan that will determine the mechanism for the interjurisdictional
management and provision of assistance concerning any potential emergency;
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
C. Develop interjurisdictional procedures to fill any identified gaps and to resolve any identified inconsistencies or overlaps
in existing or developed plans;

D. Assist in warning communities adjacent to or crossing jurisdictional boundaries;

lifeline equipment, services and resources, both human and material;
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
F. Inventory and set procedures for the interjurisdictional loan and delivery of human and material resources, together with
procedures for reimbursement or forgiveness; and
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
G. Provide, to the extent authorized by law, for temporary suspension of any statutes or ordinances over which the province
or state has authority that restrict the implementation of the responsibilities described in this subsection.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
2. Request assistance. The authorized representative of a party jurisdiction may request assistance of another party jurisdiction by contacting
the authorized representative of that party jurisdiction. The provisions of this compact only apply to requests for assistance
made by and to authorized representatives. Requests may be verbal or in writing. If verbal, the request must be confirmed
in writing within 30 days of the verbal request. Requests must provide the following information:
A. A description of the emergency service function for which assistance is needed, including but not limited to: fire services,
emergency medical, transportation, communications, public works and engineering, building inspection, planning and information
assistance, mass care, resource support, health and medical services and search and rescue;
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
B. The amount and type of personnel, equipment, materials and supplies needed and a reasonable estimate of the length of time
they will be needed; and
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
C. The specific place and time for staging of the assisting party's response and a point of contact at the location.
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
[1999, c. 696, §1 (new).]
3. Consultation between party jurisdictions' officials. There must be frequent consultation between the party jurisdictions' officials who have assigned emergency management responsibilities
and other appropriate representatives of the party jurisdictions and the federal governments, with free exchange of information,
plans and resource records relating to emergency capabilities.

Chapter 16-A: INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE COMPACT (HEADING: 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.

§941. Supplementary agreements - Article VII
Because it is probable that the pattern and detail of the machinery for mutual aid among 2 or more jurisdictions may differ
from that among the party jurisdictions of this compact, this compact contains elements of a broad base common to all party
jurisdictions, and nothing in this compact precludes any party jurisdiction from entering into supplementary agreements with
another party jurisdiction or affects any other agreements already in force between party jurisdictions. Supplementary agreements
may include, but are not limited to, provisions for evacuation and reception of injured and other persons and the exchange
of medical, fire, public utility, reconnaissance, welfare, transportation and communications personnel, equipment and supplies.
