Any emergency proclaimed in accordance with the provisions of this article shall terminate after five days from the issuance thereof or upon the issuance of a proclamation determining an emergency no longer exists, whichever occurs first. However, such emergency shall be extended only for such additional periods of time as determined necessary by resolution of Council. If the Mayor is unable to obtain a quorum at a meeting of Council to vote upon extending the time of the emergency, such time of emergency shall be automatically extended for a period not exceeding forty-eight hours beyond the time for the termination thereof to permit the Mayor to attempt to obtain a quorum of the Council for such purpose.
