is contacted pursuant to subsection 1 and the local agency determines that the crisis
or the emergency requires assistance from a state agency, the local agency may: (a) If a local organization for emergency management has been established in the city
or county in which the local agency that was contacted is located, through such local
organization for emergency management, notify the Division of Emergency Management
of the Office of the Military of the crisis or the emergency and request assistance
from the Division in responding to the crisis or the emergency; or (b) If a local organization for emergency management has not been established in the
city or county in which the local agency that was contacted is located, directly notify
the Division of Emergency Management of the Office of the Military of the crisis or
the emergency and request assistance from the Division in responding to the crisis
or the emergency. 3. If the Division of Emergency Management of the Office of the Military receives
notification of a crisis or an emergency and a request for assistance pursuant to

that the crisis or the emergency requires assistance from a state agency, the Division
shall carry out its duties set forth in the model plan developed pursuant to NRS 388.253 and its duties set forth in chapter 414 of NRS , including, without limitation, addressing the immediate crisis or emergency and
coordinating the appropriate and available local, state and federal resources to provide

occurs at a private school or notifies a private school regarding a crisis, emergency
or suicide that occurs outside of the private school, the local law enforcement agency
must consider whether it is necessary and appropriate to notify any public school
or any other private school of the crisis, emergency or suicide. Such notification must include, without limitation, any information necessary for
the public school or private school to appropriately respond to the crisis, emergency
or suicide.
