To meet the immediate requirements of an emergency condition, such as fire, flood, earthquake, or other public calamity, which threatens life or property, the appointing authority may employ such persons as may be needed for the duration of the emergency without regard to the personnel rules affecting appointments. Such appointments shall be reported to the personnel officer as soon as possible, and to the civil service commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting. No emergency appointment shall exceed sixty working days, nor shall an individual hold successive emergency appointments. No position shall be filled by a succession of emergency appointments.
