This article establishes guidelines and procedures regarding
reimbursement for Town agencies and emergency management forces services
during a declared state of emergency over two hours in length and
undeclared emergencies at Bradley International Airport lasting more
than two hours.
A state of emergency may be declared by the President, the Governor
or First Selectman. Such emergencies shall include, but not be limited
to, fires, hurricanes, tornados, floods, snow storms, plane crashes,
major motor vehicle accidents or unusually high level carbon monoxide
concentrations.
"Emergency management/civil preparedness" is defined as any
organized personnel engaged in carrying out emergency management functions
in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 517, Section 28-1(e),
of the Connecticut General Statutes or any regulation or order thereunder.
All the police and fire departments of the state or political subdivisions
of the state, or any part of any political subdivision, including
all auxiliaries of those departments, shall be part of the emergency
management/civil preparedness forces. Ambulance personnel are included
as organized personnel recognized in the Town's local emergency
plan of operation. Town agencies are defined as organized personnel
or individuals paid by the Town to provide certain services.
When one or more of the Town of Windsor Lock's municipal
agencies is requested to respond to the Airport or must provide services
locally as a result of an occurrence on airport property, even without
a declared state of emergency, the same qualifications and procedures
for reimbursement outlined above shall apply. Invoices shall be submitted
to the party or businesses who generated the need for the services
to be provided.
