their respective political subdivisions. It shall not be continued or renewed
for a period in excess of seven (7) days except by or with the consent of the
governing board of the political subdivision. Any order or proclamation
declaring, continuing, or terminating a local disaster emergency shall be
given prompt and general publicity and shall be filed promptly with the local
county recorder.
(2) The effect of a declaration of a local disaster emergency is to
activate the response and recovery aspects of any and all applicable local or
intergovernmental disaster emergency plans and to authorize the furnishing of
aid and assistance thereunder.
(3) No intergovernmental agency or official thereof may declare a local
disaster emergency, unless expressly authorized by the agreement pursuant to
which the agency functions. However, an intergovernmental disaster agency
shall provide aid and services in accordance with the agreement pursuant to
which it functions.
