An Act establishing local emergency management agencies 

This bill would allow municipalities to establish Local Emergency Management Agencies which would be organized and run by a director appointed by a city’s Mayor or City manager, or a Town Manager or Town Administrator. The agency would have the authority to utilize and coordinate the services, equipment, supplies, and facilities of the town in response to an emergency. This legislation would only take effect in the case of a declaration of a state of emergency by the local municipal authority and would be superseded by any declaration made by the Governor.
