Text

Whenever the governor declares a state of disaster or emergency in accordance with
section 37-17.1-05, or when the governor enters into an agreement with the federal government
following a disaster or emergency declared by the president of the United States, the director of
the division of homeland security and emergency management shall determine and record the
costs of the state response and recovery operations in accordance with an agreement with the
federal government or in accordance with procedures established by the governor in the case of
a state-declared disaster or emergency. Immediately following the response or recovery
operations, or prior thereto if determined necessary by the governor, the governor may apply to
the state emergency commission for a grant of funds in an amount equal to the response and
recovery costs of the state to be paid from the state disaster relief fund or other funds approved
by the emergency commission. Notwithstanding other provisions of chapter 54-16, it must be
conclusively presumed upon receipt by the emergency commission of the application from the
governor that a disaster or emergency exists, and the commission may grant and direct the
transfer to the department of the governor designated representative of an amount up to that
certified in the application by the governor.
