NebraskaNebraska would list snow removal and flood management as emergency work
The proposal would name snow and ice removal and flood management as work Nebraska agencies and crews perform as part of emergency management.
What it does
Nebraska's definition of emergency management would expressly include snow and ice removal and flood management. These activities would sit alongside other work to protect people during emergencies.
Argument forNaming snow and ice removal and flood management could help agencies recognize these crews' work when planning emergency responses.
Argument againstListing these activities without further limits could leave officials unsure when routine snow clearing or flood work counts as emergency management.
More detail
Nebraska would expressly list snow and ice removal and flood management as emergency management work. The definition covers work to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters, emergencies, and emergencies involving attacks. The definition excludes work for which military forces are primarily responsible.
