§ 2570.1. Purpose

The Legislature has long provided a state-funded program of workers' compensation benefits for disaster service worker volunteers who contribute their services to protect the health and safety and preserve the lives and property of the people of the state. This Program was established to protect such volunteers from financial loss as a result of injuries sustained while engaged in disaster service activities and to provide immunity from liability for such disaster service worker volunteers while providing disaster service, including official out-of-state deployments to jurisdictions requesting mutual aid assistance. Out-of-state training conducted in a manner geographically and functionally specific to cross-border emergency response may also be considered a covered activity.
