Abstract:
The North Dakota Disaster Act delegates powers to the governor, the state’s emergency management agency, and local emergency management agencies. The statute also provides for mutual aid agreements and outlines disaster mitigation requirements. Assistance and funding come primarily from federal aid through the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq) and loans to match federal funds. Political subdivisions may enter into mutual aid agreements.
