During the period of a declared emergency or disaster, a city employee or authorized agent may enter onto or upon private property if the employee or authorized agent has reasonable grounds to believe that there is a true emergency or disaster and an immediate need for assistance for the protection of life or property, and that entering onto the private land will allow the employee or authorized agent to take such steps to alleviate or minimize the emergency or disaster or to prevent or minimize risk or danger to lives or property from the declared emergency or disaster.
