20 Del. C. § 3107A: The State Emergency Management Fund.

The State Emergency Management Fund is established to provide DEMA with funds to manage natural and manmade disasters when federal funds are not available or when matching funds are required to receive federal funds. The Fund may be used to make purchases of life-saving or life-sustaining equipment; pay for costs associated with the activation of the State Emergency Operations Center; pay for Delaware National Guard costs when deployment is authorized by the Governor; and reimburse state and local employees for travel costs associated with a deployment under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact for authorized missions that will be fully reimbursed by the requesting states. As the requesting states provide reimbursement, funds will be deposited back into the Fund.
