Text

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. The plans shall be put into effect by request of
the state from which evacuees come and shall include the manner
of transporting the 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 the evacuees to
other areas or the importing of additional materials, supplies
and all other relevant factors. The 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 the
evacuees, for expenditures for transportation, food, clothing,
medicines and medical care and like items. The 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 the evacuees.
