After the proclamation of the existence of a civil emergency, as authorized in § 32.106, the Mayor may order the invocation of a curfew. Such order shall declare the hours of curfew in all or any portion of the city, thereby requiring all persons in such designated curfew areas to forthwith remove themselves from the public streets, alleys, parks, or other public or semipublic places. The curfew is declared by proclamation which is delivered to the Chief of Police, who shall see that copies thereof are delivered to all news media within the city and who shall also use public address systems to notify the public of the proclamation and curfew hours and warn the public that violation of the curfew constitutes a misdemeanor and violators are subject to arrest.
