(a) The general assembly intends and
declares to be the policy of the state that funds to meet disaster
emergencies always be available.
(b) The general assembly intends that the first recourse shall be to
funds regularly appropriated to state and local agencies. If the governor
finds that the demands placed upon these funds in coping with a
particular disaster are unreasonably great, the governor may make
funds available from money in the budget agency from emergency or
contingency appropriations available for emergency expenditures as
provided in IC 4-12-1-15.
(c) Within the limits of the funds appropriated under this section,
the governor may contribute to a political subdivision not more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of emergency management
agency personnel and administrative expenses that meet standards
established by the governor.
