§ 10-14-5-10 — Evacuation

ARTICLE X—Evacuation.
Plans for the orderly evacuation and interstate reception of portions
of the civilian population as the result of any emergency or disaster of
sufficient proportions to so warrant shall be worked out and maintained
between the party states and the emergency management services
directors of the various jurisdictions where any type of incident
requiring evacuations might occur. Such plans shall be put into effect
by request of the state from which evacuees come and shall include the
manner of transporting such evacuees; the number of evacuees to be
received in different areas; the manner in which food, clothing,
housing, and medical care will be provided; the registration of the
evacuees; the providing of facilities for the notification of relatives or
friends; and the forwarding of such evacuees to other areas or the
bringing in of additional materials, supplies, and all other relevant
factors. Such plans shall provide that the party state receiving evacuees
and the party state from which the evacuees come shall mutually agree
as to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in receiving
and caring for such evacuees, for expenditures for transportation, food,
clothing, medicines and medical care, and like items. Such
expenditures shall be reimbursed as agreed by the party state from
which the evacuees come. After the termination of the emergency or
disaster, the party state from which the evacuees come shall assume the
responsibility for the ultimate support of repatriation of such evacuees.
