Emergency management
means the preparation for the carrying out of all emergency functions other than functions
for which military forces are primarily responsible to prevent, minimize, and repair
injury and damage resulting from emergencies, energy emergencies, disasters, or the
imminent threat thereof, of manmade or natural origin"… "These functions include,
without limitation, fire-fighting services; police services [public safety]; medical
and health services; rescue; engineering; warning services; communications; defense
from radiological, chemical, and other special weapons; evacuation of persons from
stricken areas; emergency welfare services; emergency transportation; [nuclear power]
plant protection; temporary restoration of public service utility services: and other
functions related to civilian protection, together with all other activities necessary
or incidental to the preparation for and carrying out of the foregoing functions."
