EMAC (2)
EMAC (2) : Emergency Management Assistance Compact. EMAC provides the legal basis for a comprehensive, integrated National Mutual Aid and Resource Management System for an efficient and effective response to all hazards, including acts of terrorism. To be fully effective, jurisdictions should be capable of integrating resources received through mutual-aid operationally into ongoing response efforts, necessitating interoperability of management systems, equipment and communications. EMAC is administered by the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA, Looked it up elsewhere in the source). Legislative enactment of the compact is required for a state to join. Nearly all states are members, except California and Hawaii. Relates to Automated Resource Management System (ARMS, Looked it up elsewhere in the source)
