2. If a local agency that is responsible for responding to a crisis or an emergency is contacted pursuant to subsection 1 and the local agency determines that the crisis or the emergency requires assistance from a state agency, the local agency may:
(a) If a local organization for emergency management has been established in the city or county in which the local agency that was contacted is located, through such local organization for emergency management, notify the Division of Emergency Management of the Department of Public Safety of the crisis or the emergency and request assistance from the Division in responding to the crisis or the emergency; or
(b) If a local organization for emergency management has not been established in the city or county in which the local agency that was contacted is located, directly notify the Division of Emergency Management of the Department of Public Safety of the crisis or the emergency and request assistance from the Division in responding to the crisis or the emergency.
3. If the Division of Emergency Management of the Department of Public Safety receives notification of a crisis or an emergency and a request for assistance pursuant to subsection 2 and the Governor or the Governor’s designated representative determines that the crisis or the emergency requires assistance from a state agency, the Division shall carry out its duties set forth in the model plan developed pursuant to NRS 388.253 and its duties set forth in chapter 414 of NRS, including, without limitation, addressing the immediate crisis or emergency and coordinating the appropriate and available local, state and federal resources to provide support services and counseling to pupils, teachers, and parents or legal guardians of pupils, and providing support for law enforcement agencies, for as long as is reasonably necessary.
4. If a local law enforcement agency responds to a crisis, emergency or suicide that occurs at a private school or notifies a private school regarding a crisis, emergency or suicide that occurs outside of the private school, the local law enforcement agency must consider whether it is necessary and appropriate to notify any public school or any other private school of the crisis, emergency or suicide. Such notification must include, without limitation, any information necessary for the public school or private school to appropriately respond to the crisis, emergency or suicide.
