§1-4-1. Relocation due to emergency caused by enemy attack or

threat thereof.

Whenever, due to an emergency resulting from the effects of

enemy attack, or the anticipated effects of a threatened enemy

attack, it becomes imprudent, inexpedient or impossible to conduct

the affairs of local government at the regular or usual place or

places thereof, the governing body of each political subdivision of

this State may meet at any place within or without the territorial

limits of such political subdivision on the call of the presiding

officer or any two members of such governing body, and shall

proceed to establish and designate by ordinance, resolution or

other manner, alternate or substitute sites or places as the

emergency temporary location, or locations, of government where

all, or any part, of the public business may be transacted and

conducted during the emergency situation. Such sites or places may

be within or without the territorial limits of such political

subdivisions and may be within or without this state.
