S-2.4 - Act respecting civil protection to promote disaster resilience
Section 19
Disposition versions
19. A local municipality may declare a state of emergency in its territory, for a maximum period of 10 days, when a disaster occurs or is imminent there, if the normal operating rules do not make it possible to take the immediate actions required to protect human life, health or integrity and if, for that purpose, the local municipality considers that it must resort to the extraordinary powers provided for in section 23.
Before the state of emergency ends, the municipality may renew it for other maximum periods of 10 days, as long as the conditions set out in the first paragraph are met.
