“Emergency Management Assistance Compact, a mutual aid partnership between states.”
I’ve never heard of it, either.
Looks like it was signed into law in 1996....

Emergency Management Assistance Compact
The All Hazards National Mutual Aid System
EMAC has been ratified by U.S. Congress (PL 104-321) and is law in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Through EMAC states can share resources from all disciplines, protect personnel who deploy, and be reimbursed for mission related costs.
re: “Emergency Management Assistance Compact”
SOUNDS an awful lot like “Credit Default Swaps” ...
