Book excerpt: Two sections of the South Dakota code, chapter 33 (“Emergency Managementâ€ŗ) of title 33 (“Military Affairsâ€ŗ) and chapter 5 (“Disaster Relief Protective Measuresâ€ŗ) of title 34 (“Public Health and Safetyâ€ŗ) primarily address disasters and emergencies. The Secretary of Public Safety coordinates the stateâ€TMs emergency management organizations, but only the governor is authorized to declare a disaster. The state reimburses political subdivisions for costs associated with emergency management activities. Funding for emergency requirements is obtained from the special revenue fund; each county must also establish an emergency management revenue fund. In the event of an attack, state officials must plan for the appointment of emergency interim successors. This report is one of a series that profiles emergency management and homeland security statutory authorities of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each profile identifies the more significant elements of state statutes, generally as codified. Congressional readers may wish to conduct further searches for related provisions using the Internet link presented in the last section of this report. The National Conference of State Legislatures provided primary research assistance in the development of these profiles under contract to the Congressional Research Service (CRS). Summary information on all of the profiles is presented in CRS Report RL32287. This report will be updated as developments warrant.
