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" to include additional functions related to civilian protection. Specifically, the bill adds "snow and ice removal" and "flood management" to the list of emergency management functions, which encompass a range of services aimed at mitigating, preventing, and responding to disasters, emergencies, and civil defense emergencies.

Additionally, the bill repeals 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 threats, ensuring that emergency management encompasses a broader scope of services necessary for public safety and welfare.
