Operative words

The governor, by executive order, may issue any directive during a state disaster emergency declared in the following instances: fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, high water, landslide, mudslide, wind, storm, wave action, volcanic activity, epidemic, disease outbreak, air contamination, terrorism, cyber event, blight, drought, infestation, explosion, radiological accident, nuclear, chemical, biological, or bacteriological release, water contamination, bridge failure or bridge collapse. Any such directive must be necessary to cope with the disaster and may provide for procedures reasonably necessary to enforce such directive.

Enforcement

Executive Law 29-a(1) as amended: directives 'may provide for procedures reasonably necessary to enforce such directive'; 29-a(2)(a): no suspension or directive for more than thirty days, extendable in thirty-day periods
