Full text of Oklahoma Oklahoma Statutes § 63-695.3 — Prompt, full and effective response - Legally designated, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 63-695.3. Prompt, full and effective response - Legally designated
jurisdiction official.
Each jurisdiction recognizes that there will be emergencies
which require immediate actions and implementation of procedures to
apply outside resources to make prompt and effective response to
such an emergency. This is because few, if any, individual
jurisdictions have all the resources they need in all types of
emergencies and the capability of delivering resources to the area
where emergencies occur.
The prompt, full and effective utilization of resources of the
participating jurisdictions, including any resources on hand or
available from any other source, that are essential to the safety,
care, and welfare of the people in the event of any emergency or
disaster shall be the underlying principle on which all articles of
this Compact shall be understood.
On behalf of the chief elected officer of each jurisdiction
participating in the Compact, the legally designated jurisdiction
official who is assigned responsibility for emergency management
will be responsible for the formulation of the appropriate aid plans
and procedures necessary to implement the Compact.
