§ 2.68.245. Delegation and succession.

Wherever in this chapter, or by other law, duties or authority for emergency management are designated to the chief administrative officer or the sheriff, both shall designate a chain of succession in the event either officer is not available to immediately act in an emergency and shall file such designation with the executive officer-clerk of the board. If an emergency occurs in the absence of the principal, the first-level individual on such lists that can be contacted and is able to act shall have the full responsibility and authority to act for the principal officer until relieved by the principal or a person with higher priority on such list.
