Title 23, Sections 1121, 1123, 1125, 1126, 1129, and 1131, Virgin Islands Code, are amended to read as follows: § 1121. Shorttitle This Chapter shall be cited as the "Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Act" § 1124. Definitions (A) Except as provided in subsection (B), as used in this Chapter: 1. “Emergency” means the imminent threat or occurrence of any hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, drought, fire, explosion, or other emergency in any part of the Territory which, in the determination of the Governor or the Adjutant General requires an integrated and coordinated emergency response from various Territorial-Government agencies to save lives and protect public property, public health and safety or to avert or lessen the threat of a major disaster, which may require an emergency declaration by the President or other Federal assistance, but does not cause damage of such severity and magnitude that the Governor requests major disaster assistance from the President pursuant to the Disaster Act. A-13 perform such functions subject to the coordination and direction of the Adjutant General. The Adjutant General shall take such actions and promulgate such measures consonant with federal and territorial law or policy as may be necessary to carry out the functions assigned to him by law or by direction of the Governor. The Adjutant General shall resolve interagency issues relating to emergencies or emergency management and shall utilize VITEMA as the single territorial agency responsible to the Governor for administrative supervision of emergency management activities. He shall render periodic reports of those activities to the Office of the Governor. (C) _ Astate of emergency on accountof an emergency or major disaster may be declared by Executive Order or Proclamation of the Governor if he finds that an emergency or major disaster has occurred or that the occurrence thereof is imminent. The state of emergency shall continue until the Governor finds that the threat or danger has passed or that the response and recovery has progressed to the point that a state of emergency no longer exists, whereupon he shall terminate the state of emergency by Executive Order or Proclamation. No state of emergency may continue for longer than 30 days unless renewed by the Governor. All Executive Orders or Proclamations issued under this subsection shall indicate the nature of the emergency or major disaster, the area or areas threatened, the conditions which have brought it about or which make possible termination of the state of emergency. An Executive Order or Proclamation shall be disseminated promptly by means calculated to bring its contents to the attention of the general public and shall be filed promptly with VITEMA. (D) An Executive Order or Proclamation of a state of emergency may activate the disaster preparation, response and recovery aspects of the territorial and interjurisdictional emergency and major disaster plans applicable to the area in question and, if they are so activated, the Executive Order or Proclamation shall also authorize the deployment and use of forces to which the plan or plans apply and the use or distribution of any supplies, equipment, materials, and facilities assemble, stockpiled, or arranged to be made available pursuant to this chapter or any other provision of law relating to emergencies or major disasters. The Governor may, by Executive Order, also authorize alternative means for activating the Plan. (E) During any state of emergency or major disaster the Governor shall be commander-in-chief of the Police Auxiliary and of all other forces available for emergency duty. To the greatest extent practicable, the Govemor shall delegate or assign command authority by prior arrangement embodied in appropriate Executive Orders or regulations, but nothing herein restricts his authority to assign or reassign authority by orders issued at the time of the emergency or major disaster. (F) _In addition to any other powers conferred upon the Governor by law during any state of emergency, he may for the purpose of coping with the emergency, do any of the following: 1. Suspend the provisions of any statute prescribing the procedures for conduct of territorial business, or the orders, rules, or regulations of any territorial agency. 2. Utilize all available resources of the Territory. 3. Transfer the direction, personnel or functions of territorial departments and agencies or units thereof. A-15 () 3. emergency relief: identification of areas particularly vulnerable to an emergency or major disaster; 4. recommendations relating to zoning, building, and other land-use controls, safety measures for securing mobile homes or other nonpermanent or semipermanent structures, including watercraft, and other preventive and preparedness measures designed to eliminate or reduce the impact of an emergency or major disaster; 5. coordination with local officials in designing local action plans; 6. authorization and procedures for the construction of temporary works designed to protect against or mitigate danger, damage, or loss from flood, conflagration, or other emergency or major disaster; 7. preparation and distribution to the appropriate territorial and local officials of catalogs of federal, territorial and private assistance programs; 8 organization of manpower and claims of command; 9. coordination of federal, territorial, private and local emergency activities; 10. coordination of the Plan with the Federal Disaster Assistance Program, FEMA, other jurisdictions and private industry; 11. establishing administrative procedures for enforcing compliance with FEMA standards to achieve the objectives of emergency management planning; 12. establishing emergency management programs which address all hazards to which the Virgin Islands community is particularly vulnerable and providing specific technical information concerning the use of equipment and special methods by which such hazards may be addressed; 13. special provisions for assisting handicapped or disabled persons during an emergency; and 14. a detailed listing of specific tasks to be performed by specific territorial agencies during emergency operations. In preparing and maintaining the Plan, VITEMA shall seek the advice and assistance of FEMA, other federal agencies, volunteer organizations and other disaster preparedness agencies and other community leaders. (F) The Plan or any part thereof and a listing of the resources to be utilized in implementing the Plan may be incorporated in regulations of VITEMA. The VITEMA Council shall promulgate rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purposes of this Chapter. A-17 § 1129 Prevention of emergencies and major disasters (A) _ In addition to measures regarding disasters preparedness as included in the Plan, the Governor and the Office of Civil Defense and the Adjutant General shall consider on a continuing basis steps that can be taken to mitigate hazards that cause an emergency or major disaster At the Governor's direction, and pursuant to any other authority and competence they have, territorial agencies, including but not limited to those charged with responsible in connection with flood plain management, stream encroachment and flow regulation, weather, fire prevention and control, air quality, public works, land use and Jand- use planning, and construction standards, shall make hazard mitigation studies and provide financial resources and manpower to implement hazard mitigation actions. From time to time the Governor shall make recommendations to the Legislature, and other appropriate public and private entities as may facilitate hazard mitigation or risk reduction measures. (B) The Planning Board, shall advise VITEMA concerning structures and other facilities which are particularly susceptible to severe land shifting, subsidence, flood, or other catastrophic occurrence. The studies under this subsection shall concentrate on means of reducing or avoiding the hazards. (C) If the Adjutant General believes on the basis of the studies or other competent evidence that: 1. an area is susceptible to an emergency or major disaster of catastrophic proportions; 2. the existing building standards and land-use controls in that area are inadequate and could add substantially to the magnitude of the disaster; and 3. thatchanges in zoning regulations, other land-use regulations, or building requirements are essential in order to further the purposes of disaster preparedness planning; he shall specify needed changes to the Governor. If the Governor upon review of the recommendation finds after public hearing that the changes are essential, and shall so recommend to those agencies with jurisdiction over the area and subject matter. If no action or insufficient action pursuant to his recommendations is taken within the time specified by the Governor, he shall so inform the Legislature and request legislative action appropriate to mitigate the impact of the hazard or risk. (D) The Governor, at the same time that he makes his recommendations pursuant to subsection (C) of this Section, may suspend the standard of control which he finds to be inadequate to protect the public safety and by control shall remain in effect until rejected by Resolution of the Legislature or until amended by the Governor. During the time it is in effect, the standard or control contained in the Governor's regulation shall be administered and given full effect by all relevant agencies of the Territory to which it applies. The Governor's action is subject to judicial review but shall not be subject to temporary stay pending litigation. § 1131. Communications VITEMA shall be responsible for operating rapid and efficient communications during emergencies or major disasters. VITEMA shall operate as the Net Control Station whereby federal and other territorial departments and agencies are integrated into a comprehensive territorial emergency communications A-19 (C) The VITEMA Council shall: 1.
