§ 414.080. Incident management assistance teams

1. The Governor or the Governor's duly designated representative may create and establish

such number of incident management assistance teams as may be necessary to reinforce

organizations for emergency management in stricken areas and with due consideration

of the plans of the Federal Government and of other states. The Governor may appoint a chief for each such team who has primary responsibility

for the organization, administration and operation of the team. Incident management assistance teams may be called to duty upon orders of the Governor

and shall perform their functions in any part of the State, or, upon the conditions

specified in this section, in other states. 2. When creating and establishing an incident management assistance team, the Governor

or the Governor's duly designated representative may include as members of such a

team volunteers who are trained in responding to an emergency or disaster from an

organization that provides such volunteers. 3. Personnel of incident management assistance teams, while on duty, whether within

or without the State: (a) If they are employees of the State, have the powers, duties, rights, privileges

and immunities and receive the compensation incidental to their employment. (b) If they are employees of a political subdivision of the State, and whether serving

within or without that political subdivision, have the powers, duties, rights, privileges

and immunities and receive the compensation incidental to their employment. (c) If they are not employees of the State or a political subdivision thereof, are

entitled to compensation by the State at $10 per day and to the same rights and immunities

as are provided by law for the employees of the State. All personnel of incident management assistance teams, while on duty, are subject

to the operational control of the authority in charge of activities for emergency

management in the area in which they are serving, and must be reimbursed for all actual

and necessary travel and subsistence expenses. 4. The State may reimburse a political subdivision for the compensation paid and actual

and necessary travel, subsistence and maintenance expenses of employees of such political

subdivision while serving as members of an incident management assistance team, for

all payments for death, disability or injury of such employees incurred in the course

of duty, and for all losses of or damage to supplies and equipment of the political

subdivision resulting from the operation of such incident management assistance team.
