§ 7.212. Planning and coordination

(a) In the event of disorder, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council will convene under the Emergency Management Services Code to prepare for and coordinate planning and preparation between local and State government support agencies.

(b) If a proclamation of disaster emergency is required to activate other emergency response agencies, to authorize the transfer of unused appropriations, to waive time-consuming bid and contract procedures or to invoke the assistance of the Federal government, the proclamation will be prepared by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.

(c) Commonwealth agencies under the jurisdiction of the Governor will make every effort to cooperate in planning for and in implementing this subchapter, and shall provide assistance requested by the Governor or a designated representative to prevent civil disorder and restore peace and order. The coordination of support from State agencies will be the responsibility of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. Agencies will lend every assistance to reduce tensions and to help alleviate the causes of disorder, and will use resources at their command as may be needed to establish and maintain lines of communication to an aggrieved community when called upon to do so.

(d) If assistance of Federal agencies is necessary or appropriate, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency will also be responsible for coordinating acceptance and delivery of their assistance.
