As soon as possible after a disaster emergency affecting the county is declared either by the Governor or by the Chief Executive Officer of the county, the Chief Executive Officer of the county shall convene a meeting of the County Commissioners to perform their legislative and administrative functions as the situation may demand. If the Chief Executive Officer fails or is unable to perform the above duty, the meeting shall be convened by some other member of the Board of Commissioners, or by the Auditor or the successively empowered county officers, as provided by statute. Any such meeting of the Commissioners shall automatically be deemed an emergency meeting subject to such procedural provisions of law as govern emergency meetings of the County Commissioners, including relaxation of any applicable notice requirements as provided by statute, and may be held in any convenient and available place. The meeting shall continue without adjournment for the duration of the disaster emergency, but may be recessed for reasonable periods of time as necessary and permitted by the circumstances.
