Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

A.During times of public crises resulting from disaster, rioting, catastrophe or other public emergency within the city, or reasonable apprehension of immediate danger thereof, the mayor of the city shall proclaim a state of emergency.

B.Prior to the issuance of such proclamation, the mayor shall find by investigation or otherwise that because of disaster, rioting, catastrophe or other emergency condition, the public peace and safety is imperiled, that human life and property is endangered by such emergency conditions and that the normal and ordinary processes of local government are inadequate to safeguard the public peace and safety and the lives and property of the citizens of the city.

Such orders, rules and regulations shall be effective from and in the manner prescribed by such orders, rules and regulations and shall be made public as provided in this chapter. Such orders, rules and regulations may be amended, modified or rescinded from time to time by the mayor during the pendency of the emergency but shall cease to be in effect upon declaration by the mayor that the emergency no longer exists.
