This bill amends section 81-829.39 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Emergency Management Act. The primary focus of the amendment is to redefine the term "emergency management" by including new responsibilities related to snow and ice removal and flood management. These additions expand the scope of emergency management functions to encompass a broader range of activities necessary for civilian protection and disaster response. Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 81-829.39, thereby updating the legal framework governing emergency management in Nebraska. The changes aim to enhance the state's preparedness and response capabilities in the face of various natural and manmade disasters, ensuring that emergency management practices are comprehensive and effective.
