2005 Vermont Code - § 3453a. — Emergency operation centers and shelters

§ 3453a. Emergency operation centers and shelters

Any school building for which state construction aid is provided under this chapter for the purpose of its construction, reconstruction or expansion, and which is or may be designated as a local, regional or state emergency operation center or shelter, shall be designed for use as an emergency operations center or shelter. For this purpose, the proposed project shall include the installation of a wiring harness capable of being connected to emergency electric power generation to provide for emergency heating, lighting and communications. The wiring installation cost to upgrade emergency facilities shall be included in the budgets submitted to the legislature for capital funding pursuant to section 309 of Title 32. The state shall pay 100 percent of such costs, which shall at the department level be itemized and accounted for separately from those costs in which the state only shares in the project cost. (Added 1999, No. 29, § 43, eff. May 19, 1999.)
