Dear all, Please find below an ammended list of international agreements, standards, legislation, organisations, and a short-list of educational resources with relevance to the formation of an emergency management systems information interoperability framework. PS - I have not udpated the Wiki with this content as the 'edit' interface seems to require the addition of a considerable number of tags and other formatting elements. Is there a way to add content as plain text? (where a human editor can fill in a form or submit content by email etc.?)

In some states a local Mayor is empowered to declare a State of Emergency, whereas FEMA and other accredited Emergency Agencies cannot declare an emergency. Understanding US Emergency Law involves perusing a great many State and County laws and by-laws. Overriding authorities are generally held to be with the US President under Section 401 of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5170 and passively by the US Military under The Posse Comitatus Act 18 U.S.C. § 1835.). This has changed somewhat in recent years with the formation of the US Office of Homeland Security and incorporation of FEMA by the OHS, however I am unable to find any appropriate EM legislative references from this office.
