Title 54 › Subtitle I — National Park System › CHAPTER 1027 — LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE › SUBCHAPTER II — EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE › § 102712
The Secretary may help people in a National Park System unit during an emergency when nothing else is available. For visitors, the Secretary can sell food or supplies at cost in amounts just enough to get them safely to a place where they can buy more. For grantees, permittees, or licensees running public services, the Secretary can sell needed supplies, materials, or special services at cost (including transportation and handling) to end the emergency and keep services running. Money from these sales must be returned to the same government fund that is current when the deposit is made. That money can then be used to buy similar food or supplies or for System unit purposes.
