This Act amends Section 2 of the Emergency Management Act (I) by redefining "emergency" as a public emergency declared under section 28(1) on account of the threat or occurrence of a disaster; or a serious occurrence that takes place unexpectedly and demands an urgent response or attention; or a public health emergency declared under section 28A(1); and (II) by inserting definitions of communicable disease, notifiable disease, and public health emergency.
