§ 2-84. Emergency powers and duties.

During any period when the city has been struck by disaster, the coordinator may promulgate such regulations as he deems necessary to protect life and property and preserve critical resources. This promulgation of regulations solely by the coordinator will be only when immediacy of necessary action precludes contact and discussion with the EOC director. Such regulations may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

(a)

Regulations prohibiting or restricting the movement of vehicles in order to facilitate the work of emergency management forces, or to facilitate the mass movement of persons from critical areas within the city.

(b)

Regulations pertaining to the movement of persons from areas deemed to be hazardous or vulnerable to disaster.

(c)

Such other regulations necessary to preserve public peace, health and safety.

(d)

Regulations promulgated in accordance with the authority above will be given widespread circulation through all avenues of the news media.
