New York County Animal Annex
New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets
Emerf!encv Disaster Plan
A. Puroose
To develop a County Animal Response Plan with responsibilities that follow: To protect
livestock and domesticated animal resources, the public health, the public food supply,
the environment, and to ensure the humane care and treatment of animals in case of a
large scale natural, manmade or technological emergency or other situations that cause
animal suffering. The Incident Command System will be utilized in setting up the plan.
B. SCODe
('--'
This plan is intended for use by 10caJi government to take immediate action in providing a
means of care and control to minimize animal suffering in the event of a large scale
emergency. This action will be aimed at animals that may need help whether such
animals are owned, stray, domestic, lOr wild. This will include animals, which are
incapable of being cared for by their owners, or are a danger to themselves or the public.
Ifpossible, all animals will be reunited with their owners. If they cannot be returned to
their owners, they will be handled in accordance with established animal control
regulations and procedures. Wild animals will be left to their own survival instincts as
much as possible. SouId assistance be requ.ired for wild animals, their care will be the
responsibility of the Department of Environmental Conservation and their licensed
wildlife rehabilitaors
Within the defmed governmental area, the Director of Emergency Services or his
designated representative(s) may place into effect established plans and procedures and
direct both the emergency and recovery aspects of the incident. Such plans may include
the development ofan County Animal Response Team (CART) made up ofIoca1 animal
professionals and other interested parties. However, the Director of Emergency Serviices
may deviate from these procedures when, in his judgment, immediate and direct action is
necessary to protect the public safety.
C. Situation and Assumptions
1: Any disaster that threatens. humans, threatens animals, and it will be
necessary to provide water, shelter, food and first aid.
......
1
2. Relocation, shelter, or relief efforts for livestock., wildlife, or domesticated
animals may be required.
3. Shelter locations may be required to provide domesticated. animal, control
due to sheltered persons bringing their pets with them.
'4. Livestock left in evacuated areas will need to be cared for and provisions
will need to be made for re-entry to facilitate this need.
S; The owners of pets or livestock, when notified of an upcoming
emergency, will take reasonable steps to shelter and provide for animals
under their care and/or control. .
6. Natural, technological, or manmade disasters could affect the well being
of domesticated or non-domesticated animals.
7. The County will plan both for emergency situations and to carry out
response and recovery operations utilizing local resources. Outside animal
care and rescue assistance would likely be available in most large sca.le
emergencies affecting the area.
8. Animal protection planning will ensure the proper care and recovery of
animals impacted during an emergency. These plans may include
measures to identify housing and shelter for animals, communicate
information to the public, and proper animal release.
9. Public information statements will be issued through the various media
outlets. This information will include locations where domestic and llon-
domestic animals (including livestock) may be accepted during emergency
situations.
10. A large scale emergency in the State may warrant immediate respons1e
from state and local personne~ agencies, and organizations. However,
emergency situations may become compounded due to the nature of the
emergency and also require activation of additional specialized agencies
through mutual aid.
D. ConceDt of Ooerations
The primary and support agencies identified in this section win manage and coordinate
local animal protection activities. These agencies will use established animal protection
and support organizations, processes, and procedures. Responsibility for situation
assessment and determination of resources needs for a large-scale emergency lies
primarily with the area Emergency Management Directpr in cooperation with the CA.RT
Team leader and local incident coordinators.
Request for animal protections assistance and resources such a.s food, medicine shelter
materi~l, specialized personnel, and additional veterinary medical professional;, will be
trans nutted from the local emergency management office to the state emergency
management 'office. Should the need for Federal or State resources exist, the State
Emergency Operations Center will coordinate the request for assistance.
.....-I

'-"
,-1nimal protection operations will be managed by the CART in cooperation with other
agencies, such as Public Health and Law Enforcement. Public health concerns will take
precedence over others and will be coordinated between the CART team leader and an
appropriate public health officiaL .
The sheltering and protection of domestic and non-domestic animals (including livestock)
are the responsibility of their owners.
Domestic and non-domestic animals that are lost, strayed, incapable of being cared for by
their owners, or in danger to themselves or the public will be the responsibility of the
designated area/region CART officials. These animals will be sheltered, fed, and if
possible, returned to their owners. If the animals cannot be returned to their owners, they
will be disposed of in accordance with established animal control procedures.
Wild animals should be left to their own survival instincts. Wild animals out of the
natural habitats that are in danger either to themselves or the public will be the
responsibility of the Department of Environmental Consevation (DEC) personnel, in
cooperation with local animal control officials, veterinarians, and licensed rehabilitators.
They should be returned to their natural habitat, if possible.
c'-
The designated CART will be the lead agency for situation assessment and determination
of resource needs. As needed the CART will protect animals (to the extent possible)
affected by any disaster: to include rescue, shelter, control and feeding of animals leit
homeless, lost or strayed as a result of the disaster. Local humane organizations or
similar groups will be asked to assist in this effort.
During emergencies, requests for animal protection assistance and resources such as
food, medicine, shelter, specialized personnel, and additional veterinary medical
professionals will be routed through the Area /regional Emergency Operations Center.
Shelters that have been established for disaster victims may not accept domestic animals.
However, if an evacuee comes to the shelter with their pet(s), efforts will be made to
assist in locating the domestic animal(s) away from the general population and to provide
proper care. The local ART should have lists of available housing sites, and may also
provide temporary housing in proximity to an emergency .shelter for people.

General:
1. Identify and schedule emergency operations and cleanup crews. This could
consist of heavy equipment and extra personnel to assist in clean-ups after
the storm.
2. Adjust work schedules so that key staff members are onsite or can be
reached to keep all services operational if the facility remains online or to
shutdown and startup facilities if and when necessary.
3. Notify State and Federal A encies (Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) ~::XlTdi.chin.c.:> and others) of location and telephone
numbers of the emergency personnel owner/operator for the water system
operations. For public water systems, be sure to line up contacts to request
emergency water supply, if necessary.
4. Review your emergency response plan and make sure it and contacts are
current.
5. Notify, ahead of time, and set up clear lines of communication with local
police and fire department, in case of an injury or other emergencies.
Request that local law enforcement check on any water staff that remain
onsite at the water system. If communication channels are down with these
sites, this check needs to continue on a routine basis until communication
channels are reestablished.
6. Establish contacts to request emergency water supply, if necessary. This
may include trucking in of purchased water from another potable water
supply.
7. Make arrangements with the local power utility to be prepared to restore
power to the water system as a priority customer.
8. Pre-arrange to purchase materials and supplies and to borrow/lease heavy
equipment needed to make repairs to the water system. This could include
piping, valves, chemical feed-line tubing, and hydrants.
9. Make arrangements to have materials and chemicals delivered to your
location as soon as it is safe and you are ready for operation.
10. Establish which media you will use for customers to access information and
press advisories. Be sure to prepare customers for possible boil water
advisory status:
a: Have a "Boil Water Notice" prepared, including multilingual. (For boil.
water notices in various languages see this page.)
b: Have emergency disinfection of drinking water procedures prepared for
customers. (For a fact sheet on this topic see this page.)
c: Have "Shelter-in-Place" guidelines ready in case of release of
hazardous materials. This is information to be provided to the public that
may need to remain indoors.

33. All pump stations should be in a well-drained area and be designed to
remain in operation during flood events. If not, the pumps should be shut
down and protected from electrical damage if they should become
submerged. After any major storm event, check raw water intakes to
minimize any debris or other materials which could enter. Ensure operators
and staff are familiar with manual operations within the system should
SCADA become inoperable.
34. Any wells that become submerged must be disinfected prior to returning to
service. Check with your State Primacy Agency for additional requirements
prior to lifting any boil water notices.
35. Check that all chemical bulk storage tanks are properly labeled to include
chlorine cylinders and chemical mix tanks. This will help in identification
should these items be washed or wind-blown away.
36. Be sure all dry chemicals are stored off the floor in a dry room that is
protected against flooding and water from floors, walls and ceilings.
37. Check chemical inventory. A storm event could cause a greater demand for
disinfectant to address broken waterlines and increases in turbidity, so more
disinfectant and coagulant chemicals may be required. Verify that the current
supply of calcium hypochlorite (if used) is adequate for this potential
increased use.
38. Fill all storage tanks with water to prevent floating or falling from wind forces.
This will also help in maintaining pressure throughout your distribution
system.
39. Remove or move chemicals to a safe area. If chemicals are removed from
an underground or above ground tank, fill the tank with water, if possible, to
prevent floating.
40. Remove fuel from underground storage tanks to prevent contamination and
loss of the fuel. If possible move above ground fuel storage tanks to a safe,
high area. Fuel will be needed for emergency and plant vehicles until new
supplies arrive. Prepare for one week supply, if possible.
41 . Remove electrical motors, where possible. If not, wrap the motors in plastic
and seal as tight as possible, in order to protect the motor from silt, mud, and
dirt. Any electrical motors that are submerged, should be cleaned and dried
prior to start up to prevent damage.
42. Remove shop tools and electrical hand tools from water system facilities.
43. Monitor tank levels. Fill elevated and ground storage tanks to full capacity.
Storage tanks should be valved off from the distribution system immediately
prior to the storm event to prevent loss of water during the storm.

Suggested post-hurricane activities for
water and wastewater facilities
See also: Suqgested pre-hurricane activities.
Natural Events - Hurricanes
EPA's Water Security Division has developed a checklist to assist drinking water
and wastewater facilities recover from hurricanes. Recognizing that water utilities
will want to restore operations (e.g., regaining adequate pressure and disinfection)
as quickly as possible, water facilities might consider the following steps in
recovering from severe weather conditions. These recommendations are closely
tied to the Suggested Pre-hurricane Activities for Water and Wastewater Facilities
document. You may also want to reference your Emergency Response Plan for
more recovery information.
A. General
1. Line up and schedule emergency operations and cleanup crews.
2. Maintain contact with State and Federal Agencies (FEMA and others) of
location and telephone numbers of the emergency operating center or
command post for the utility.
3. For public water systems, be sure to line up contacts to request emergency
water supply, if necessary.
4. Consult public health officials and your primacy agency for public
notifications (Le., boil water, do not drink).
5. Notify customers and media where to access information and press
advisories.
6. Arrange for food and water for the crews.
7. Maintain clear lines of communication with local authorities, such as police
and fire in case of an injury or other emergency.
8. Make arrangements with the local power utility to restore power as a primary
customer.
Make arrangements with local companies to purchase materials and
supplies and to borrow/lease heavy equipment needed to make repairs to
the plant.
9. Confirm with local companies that materials and chemicals can be delivered
to the plant as soon as it is safe and units are repaired and ready for
operation.
10. Plan for appropriate disposition of personal protection equipment (PPE) and
other equipment.
...,..,
\
B. Grounds and Common Areas
11. If possible, resupply inventory of emergency repair equipment and supplies
(Le., sand and sandbags, hand shovels, power equipment, fuel, batteries,
flashlights, portable radio, first aid kits, etc.).
12. Keep service vehicles stocked with equipment and supplies.
13. Keep all vehicles and emergency generators fueled.
14. Keep service vehicles on high ground (above expected flood crest).

( '--"
15. Maintain communications equipment and charge or replace batteries (i.e.,
two-way radios, cell phones, walkie-talkies, pagers, etc.).
16. Sandbag critical areas.
17. Coordinate debris removal.
18. Shut down exposed pipes at river crossings to prevent discharge of raw
sewage or to prevent loss or contamination of potable water if the pipes
break.
c. Administration and Laboratory Buildings
19. Keep portable electrical equipment and small motors from the flood zone.
20. Keep all sensitive laboratory equipment from the flood zone, where possible.
21. Keep or store computers in a safe area.
22. Keep or store all important records in a safe area.
23. Keep vital records such as built drawings, wiring diagrams, etc. to the
emergencyperations center or command post until normal operations
resume.
24. If electrical power has been disconnected, make arrangements with the local
power company to restore as a primary customer.
D. Treatment Plant and Pumping Stations:
25.
26.
27.
('-"' 28.
29.
30.
31.
Once flood waters recede, work with the power company to restore power.
Keep chemicals in a safe area.
Sample appropriate system elements (storage tanks, filters, sediment
basins, solids handling) to determine if residual contamination exists.
Inspect electrical motors for damage caused by silt, mud, and dirt getting
into the windings. Replace electrical motors if damaged in the storm.
Submerged motors should be washed with clean water and dried, and in
most cases restored to service.
Inventory all shop tools and electrical hand tools in the emergency
operations center or command post.
For drinking water systems, if possible continue to maintain elevated storage
at full capacity as appropriate.
Monitor chlorine residuals and system pressure as soon as you can safely
gain access to the system and its control facilities.

RE:
Effects of Recent Flooding on Town Sewer Systems
(..........
During the eight day period beginning October 8 through October 15, 2005 the lower
Hudson Valley received in excess of 15 inches ofrain. On Friday night, October 14, 2005, very
heavy rain hit the area. With an already high water table and surface flooding, serious flooding
conditions existed. The following is a report on the effects of this flooding on the Town's sewer
systems.
1. Kendall Farms Pump Station
At approximately 6:45 p.m. on Friday, October 14, 2005 CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
received a high level alarm from the Kendall Farms pump station. We immediately set
up bypass pumps capable of pumping approximately 350 gallons per minute in order to
alleviate a health emergency for the nearby homes. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
continued to monitor and pump this wet well until approximately 4:00 a.m. on Saturday,
October 15,2005.
i.,-,
2. Kent Road Lift Station
At approximately 7: 15 p.m. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received a high level alarm
from the Kent Road pump station. We began to monitor the pump station at that time.
At approximately 10:00 p.m. two bypass pumps capable of pumping approximately 600
gallons per minute were installed to prevent a backup into nearby homes, avoiding a
possible health emergency. This pump station had to be continually monitored and
pumped until approximately 4:00 a.m. when the in-house pumps could handle the
decreased. flows.
....tI
3. Rockineham Pump Station
At approximately 6:00 p.in. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received a high level alarm
from the Rockingham pump staiion. As this pump station is equipped wit.h a huge surge
. taI1k: to handle surge flows, it was not necessary to bypass pump. However, the level
continued to rise until approximately 1 :00 a.m. when the level began to recede. No
. bypass piunping was required, but flows did reach the point ~here the pump station could
not keep up.
4. Deer Run Manhole
This manhole is . located on Deer Run Road, at the entrance to the easement that runs ......I
along Sprout Creek and empties into the Rockingham pump station. This manhole was
Closely monitored and at approximately 6:30 p.m. the need for pumping arose in order to
prevent a backup into nearby homes. Approximately 500 gallons per minute of bypass
pumping continued until almost 5:00 a.m. on October 15, 2005 in order to prevent a
backup into the homes on Deer Run Road. This pumping also helped to alleviate
potential problems at the Rockingham pump station.
5. Fleetwood Sewer
At 8:35 p.m. on Friday, October 14, 2005 CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received a call
from Ms. Tavares of 17 Fleetwood Drive indicating that sewage was beginning to back
up into the basement. We responded immediately and began bypass pumping the
manhole in front of 17 Fleetwood Drive so that the flow level was reduced. The Tavares
residence has a bathroom on the lower floor, which pumps up to the sewer system. This
received some low levels of flow, but we were able to pump it prior to having a disaster
occur. The bypass pumping continued until approximately 4:30 a.m. on Saturday,
October 15, 2005. Around midnight when the levels in the manhole were down
considerably and we were staying ahead of the flow, the resident of73 Kretch Circle
arrived. He wanted us to know that he had flooding into his home earlier in the evening,
but he had not contacted anyone.

In closing, I would say that the flooding witnessed on the evening of October 14 and into
the morning of October 15,2005 was as serious as CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. has seen in our
30 years of monitoring the Town's water and sewer systems. Not only was Lake Oniad flooding
Kent Road, the pond on Kent Road was flooding Myers Corners Road, and we witnessed
numerous other serious conditions that we had not considered serious in the past.

RE:
Hurricane Floyd Damage Report
On September 16, 1999, Hurricane Floyd hit the Hudson Valley
with an excessive 9 inches of rain and strong winds. Whereas the
good news was the hurricane ended the drought, there was
excessive surface flooding which resulted in high sewage flows
and numerous power outages. This report will indicate the areas
that were effected and the actions taken to prevent damage to the
residents properties.
1. ROCKINGHAM SEWER DISTRICT
A. Deer Run Manhole - During past heavy flow conditions,
this area of the sewer line became surcharged resulting in
flooding of the residents along Deer Run Road. CAMO
Pollution Control, Inc. monitored this manhole continuously.
Upon the level reaching flooding conditions, a temporary
bypass pump was installed and manned to prevent sewage from
overflowing in the homes on Deer Run Road. At approximately .~
('-'
11:30 p.m. on the night of September 16, 1999, the manhole
levels receded to normal operation and the bypass pumping
was discontinued.
B. Baldwin Place Pump Station - This pump station was
effected by no power and surface flooding which resulted in
approximately three feet of water over the lid of the pump
chamber and control pit. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
pumped the surface wate~ off to prevent an emergency within
the pump', chamber and notified Central Hudson that the power
was out., At that time, we were informed that Central Hudson
crews would not be working ,that night, so CAMO Pollution
Control, Inc. installed a temporary, generator which was
manned and operated ,until 'approximately 5:00 a.m. when
Central Fudson powei was returned.
C. Pippin Lane Pump Station - This area was effected by no
electric power from Central Hudson. This station is
equipped ,with a DEC approved gravity overflow which was
utilized. At about 5:00 a.m. power was restored.
(,-
D. Sherwood Heiqhts, Pump Station - This station was
effected by no power from Central Hudson and does not have a
standby emergency, generator.' At approximately 11:45 a.m the
lev~l of the wet well reached a point where it could start
to overflow in nearby homes. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
provided bypass pumping for approximately 15 to 20 minutes
to reduce the wet well to a condition where it would not
back into the nearby residents homes. At approximately 5:00
a.m. power was restored to this station.
E. Rockinqham Pump Station - During the height of the
storm, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received an alarm from
the Rockingham Pump Station stating that the second pump had
come on. At this point in time, the flows from the
Rockingham Pumping Station were in excess of 1,000 gallons
per minute.
2. SEWER IMPROVEMENT #1 SEWER DISTRICT
A. Bellaire Pump Station - Upon noticing the emergency
condition caused by the storm, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
continuously monitored this station and manned it with a
bypass pump until approximately 11:00 a.m. the following day
to prevent a sewer backup into the Hussian residence which
is the property that this pump station is located on.
I
..........
B. Kendall Farms Pump Station - CAMO Pollution Control,
Inc. received a high level alarm and provided a man to
monitor the wet well and provided bypass pumping as needed
until approximately 11:45 p.m. to prevent sewage from
flowing into the nearby residents basements.
.....,
C. Cedar Hill Pump Station - This station lost power at
approximately 11:00 p.m. The station was operated with a
portable compressor until Saturday afternoon when power was
restored.
3. ROYAL RIDGE SEWER DISTRICT
A. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received a high level alarm
from the influent pump station. We responded, and installed
a portable pump to help relieve the flooding conditions
within the sew'er district and prevent sewer fr9m backing up
into the homes of the resident near this sewer plant. The
sewer mains were pumped. down and the pump was removed by
8:00 a.m the following. morning.
4. FLEETWOOD SEWER DISTRICT
A. Flows at the' sewage tr~atment faciiity reached a point
where they were surcharging the sewer lines. ,It was
necessary to install a bypass pump to help relieve the
flooding and prevent sewage from running into residences
near this sewage treatment facility. By approximately 9:30
a.m. the following morning, the pump was removed and the ~
flow conditions returned to normal.
s. WAPPINGERS PARK WATER
A. At approximately 8:00 p.m. we received a'call from a
resident stating that there was no water pressure at
Wappingers Park. Upon responding we found that there was no
power to the entire development. We contacted Central
Hudson and were informed that the Central Hudson crew was
not working that night and power would be off until the
following morning when they started work. Once notified
that Central Hudson was not available until the following
morning, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. installed a generator
to provide water service to the residents of Wappingers Park
at approximately 2:00 a.m. Power was restored by Central
Hudson at approximately 11:00 a.m the following morning.
6. TALL TREES WATER
A. At approximately 11:30 p.m., CAMO Pollution Control,
Inc. received notification that there was no power in the
Tall Trees Water District. Upon responding, it was
confirmed that there was no Central Hudson power. The
-.,J
(
~
('--
I
'-'
storage tank levels were checked and there was adequate
water to maintain water pressure until the power was
restored at approximately 3:00 p.m. the following afternoon.
7 .
ATLAS WATER DISTRICT
A. Power was lost to the pumps located on the Atlas Well
Field. In order to achieve water pressure for the Atlas
residents, water was backfed through the Pizz~galli
interconnectioh until the power was restored. 'After
restoration of power, it was impossible to monitor the
operation of the pumps as extreme flooding of the Wappingers
Creek, prevented access into the Atlas Pu~p House.
8. CENTRAL WAPPINGERS WATER
A. CAMO Pollut,ion Control, Inc. received 'a.n alarm
indicating "no incoming power" conditions at the Hilltop
Well Field. At the time the storage tank was full and the
system was able to ride on the storage. CAMO Pollution
ControJ;, Inc. -had a portable generator in place and ready to
operate and was also in communication with Central Hudson.
Power was restored before the generator needed to be hooked
up.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of
these matters further, please contact me at (914) 463-7310.

5 29-g. Emergency management assistance compact. 1. The emergency
management assistance compact is made and entered into by and between
the participating member states which enact this compact, hereinafter
called party states. For the purposes of this agreement, the term
"states" is taken to mean the several states, the commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the District of Columbia, and all United States territorial
possessions.
The purpose of this compact is to provide for mutual assistance
betwe'eri the states entering into this compact in managing any emergency
or disaster that is duly declared by the governor of the,affected state
or states, whether arising from natural disaster, technological hazard,
man-made disaster, civil emergency aspects of resource shortages,
community disorders, insurgency or enemy attack.
This compact shall also provide for mutual cooperation in
emergency-related exercises, testing or other training activities using
equipment and personnel simulating performance of any aspect of the
giving an9 rec$iving of aid by party ~tates or subdivisions of party
states during emergencies, such actions occurring outside- actual
declared emergency periods. Mutual assistance in this ,compact may
include the use of the states' national guard forces, either in
a~cordance with the national guard mutual assistance compact or b~
mutual agreement between states.
2. Each party state entering into this compact recognizes that many
emergencies transcend - political jurisdictional boundaries and that
intergovernmental coordination is essential in managing these and other
emergencies under this compact. Each state further recognizes that there
will be emergencies which require immediate access and present
procedures to apply outside resources to make a prompt and effective
response to such an emergency. This is because few, if any, individual
states have all the resources they may need in all types of emergencies
or the capability of delivering resources to areas where emergencies
exist.
The prompt, full and effective utilization of resources of the
participating states, including any resources on hand or available from
the federal government or any other source, that are essential to the
safety, care and welfare of the people in the event of any emergency or
disaster declared by a party state, shall be the underlying principle on
which all provisions of this compact shall be understood.
On behalf of the governor of each state participating in the compact,
the legally designated state official who is assigned responsibility for
emergency management will be responsible for formulation of the
appropriate interstate mutual aid plans and procedures necessary to
implement this compact.
3. (a) It shall be the responsibility of each party state to formulate
procedural 'plans and programs for interstate cooperation in the
performance of the responsibilities listed in this section. In
formulating such plans, and in carrying them out, the party states,
insofar as practical, shall:
'(1) Review individual state hazard analysis and, to the extent
reasonably possible, determine all those potential emergencies the party
states might jointly suffer, whether due to natural disaster,
technological hazard, man-made disaster, emergency aspects or resource
shortages, civil disorders, insurgency or enemy attack.
(2) Review party states' individual emergency plans and develop a plan
which will determine the mechanism for the interstate management and
provision of assistance concerning any potential emergency.

only apply to requests for assistance made by and to authorized
representatives. Requests may be verbal or in writing. If verbal, the
reques~ shall be confirmed in writing within thirty days of the verbal
request: Requests Olllall fJLuvide the following information:
~l) A description of the emergency service functi00 for which
assistance is needed, such as, but not limited to, fire services, law

appropriate representatives of the party states with affected
jurisdictions and the United States government, with free exchange of
information, plans and resource records relating to emergency
capabilities.
4. Any party state requested to render mutual aid or conduct exercises
and training for mutual aid shall take such action as is necessary to
provide, and make available the resources covered by this compact in
accordance with the terms hereof provided, that it is understood that
the state rendering aid may withhold resources to the extent necessary
to provide reasonable protection for such state.
Each party state shall afford to the emergency forces of any party
state, while operating within its state limits under the terms and
conditions of this compact, the same powers (except that of arrest
unless specifically authorized by the receiving state), duties, rights
and privileges as are afforded forces of the state in which they are
performing emergency services. Emergency forces will continue under the
command and control of their regular leaders, but the organizational
units will come under the operational control of the emergency services
authorities of the state receiving assistance. These conditions may be
