Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If you are part of an Emergency Management Committee, called Committee A, you can agree to help another Committee, called Committee B, with emergency management. You can do this under section 27(1)(f) or 28(2)(g) of the proposed law. You can recover costs from Committee B for the help you give. If you incur costs for emergency management, you can ask Committee B to pay you back. This includes all actual and reasonable costs and expenses. You can recover these costs as a debt. However, both Committees can agree not to follow this rule if they want to.
