A. It is the intent of the Assembly and the administration, and declared to be the policy of the Borough, that funds to meet disaster emergencies will always be available.

B. Whenever and to the extent that money is needed to cope with a disaster, the first recourse shall be to funds regularly appropriated for that purpose. If money available from these sources is insufficient, the Mayor may, notwithstanding any limitation imposed by other local ordinances, transfer or spend money appropriated for other purposes.

C. Nothing in this section limits the Mayor’s authority to apply for, receive, administer and spend grants, gifts or payments from any source, to aid in disaster preparedness, mitigation, response or recovery.
