YEMA
Motto	“Bringing stability and hope”
Organization Type	Government Department as defined by the Constitution
Administration	The Imperial Premier
Committee	Senate Emergency Management Oversight Committee
Creation	Under Proposal#120 - Formation of the Yamatai Emergency Management Agency passed in YE 45.1

In YE 45.1, Independant Senator Tetsuya Eitan (Airwin Caeyara) presented Proposal#120 - Formation of the Yamatai Emergency Management Agency to the Senate of the Yamatai Star Empire. His motivation for the bill came from his experience prior to Tsenlan joining the Senate, where his own people had failed to provide adequate solutions for crisis management which made the evacuations of his worlds a nightmare with staggering loss of life. In a study of the history of the Yamatai Star Empire he found that the reliance on the Star Army of Yamatai was successful but had also created challenges, such as on worlds like Himiko System which had been invaded during the Kuvexian War. His goal was to propose a government department that would help aid civilian populations throughout the Yamatai Star Empire and relieve some of the burden placed on the Star Army of Yamatai.

Following the successful passing of Proposal#120 - Formation of the Yamatai Emergency Management Agency, YEMA was successfully formed.

The purpose of YEMA is to provide:

• Provide food, Water and shelter to citizens of the Yamatai Star Empire during disaster and crisis.
• Food Security during crisis and disaster.
• Establish Emergency Management Plans for each settled planet in the Yamatai Star Empire and cooperate with the Department of Colonization in the creation of these plans for new and existing colonies.
• Manage evacuation plans and inventories.
• Maintenance and oversight of refugee towns while they are utilized and awaiting utilization.

The role of the Senate Emergency Management Oversight Committee is to provide:

• Senator involvement in the creation of Emergency Management plans for their jurisdictions.
• The creation and presentation of a yearly report in the sixth month of every year.

As defined in Proposal#120 - Formation of the Yamatai Emergency Management Agency the yearly report is to include:

• A detailed report is presented in the sixth month of every year within the Senate.
• A detailed description of civilian-accessible emergency bunkers such as H Bunker on each planet. It will also include a detailed inventory of supplies held in those bunkers. Statistical data regarding the population vs. bunker space to evaluate the need for more facilities to be built.
• A detailed evaluation of rations and their availability. This will include planetary stocks of rations Star Army Emergency Ration Pill that are designated for civilian use.
