Law and authority

Iowa Code Chapter 29C (Emergency Management and Security)

Basis for Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) and county emergency management. § 29C.8(3)(f): members of approved homeland security and emergency response teams registered with HSEM are treated as state employees for liability, and the state pays disability, workers' compensation and death benefits. Each team must set membership standards and give HSEM a member list.

Iowa Code § 29C.22 (Statewide Mutual Aid Compact)

Counties, cities and other local governments are automatically members unless they withdraw. Requests can go directly between local officials or through HSEM. The receiving government reimburses the helping government's costs unless the helper chooses to donate them. Responders acting in good faith are not liable except for willful misconduct, gross negligence or recklessness.

The Iowa State Patrol Air Wing flies FLIR-equipped airplanes for searches, Iowa Army National Guard helicopters train hoist rescue, and the Iowa Wing of Civil Air Patrol flies search under state law.
