The purpose of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 National incident Management System (NIMS) cooperative agreement is to support Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), which is a Congressionally ratified mutual aid compact. (Pub. L. No. 104-321). The “purpose of the compact is to provide for mutual assistance between the states entering into the compact in managing any emergency disaster that is duly declared by the Governor of the affected state, whether arising from natural disaster, technological hazard, man-made disaster, civil emergency aspects of resources shortages, community disorders, insurgency or enemy attack.” See id., Section 1 Congressional Intent, Article 1, Purpose and Authorities. EMAC signatories include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Id. The federal government doctrinally and financially supports EMAC but does not manage it. EMAC’s unique relationships with states, regions, territories, and Federal organizations, such as FEMA and the National Guard Bureau, enable it to move a wide variety of resources to stabilize community lifelines immediately after an incident. Among other things, EMAC assists states in sending personnel, equipment, and commodities to support disaster relief efforts in other states. The FY 2023 NIMS cooperative agreement aids EMAC’s development and maintenance of a consistent system for the request, dispatch, use, and return of resources necessary to support local capabilities during incident response and recovery operations. The development of a multi-jurisdictional, interstate regional mechanism for coordinating incident management and obtaining assistance to stabilize community lifelines immediately during large-scale, complex, or catastrophic incidents will help to build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation.

• Support for the refinement of NIMS and its national roll-out as directed by FEMA
• Provide education and training to states on preparing for and deploying through EMAC.
• Development, enhancement, and maintenance of EMAC’s information management systems for the availability, request, dispatch, use, tracking, and return of resources in all states during all-hazard incidents requiring mutual aid. The system development will solve several barriers to interoperability that hinders expedient deployment of resources.
• Maintenance and implementation of a formalized sub-grant program in coordination with FEMA.

Within the past year, the funding support provided to NEMA for EMAC has led to the following successes: Deployment of 6,632 qualified personnel supporting mutual aid operations; Assistance to the Puerto Rico Emergency Management Agency with managing the reimbursement process and documentation issues with FEMA Public Assistance; Updates to the 2022 EMAC Operations Manual enhancing guidance with reimbursement consistency Review and update of numerous programs including the Mutual Aid Support System (MASS); Resource Planner, and the EMAC Operations System (EOS) improving usability and functionality by deployed personnel during operational activations; Data acquisition to enhance key floodplain management positions for disaster assistance response teams (DARTs).
