Operative words

As recited in IA-002: 'on March 9, 2020, a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency was issued to coordinate the State of Iowa's response to this outbreak and such disaster continues to exist.' The Governor's release of March 9, 2020 states the proclamation 'activates the disaster response and recovery aspects of the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management's Iowa Emergency Response Plan' and authorizes state agencies to use 'personnel, equipment and facilities to perform activities necessary to prevent, contain and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 virus.'

Enforcement

Predicate instrument; Iowa Code § 29C.6
