               The chairperson of the board of commissioners by declaration may impose the prohibitions
               and restrictions specified in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH10EMMA_ARTIIISTEM_S10-52EV" class="section-link" data-product-id="12650">sections 10-52</a> through <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH10EMMA_ARTIIISTEM_S10-57OTRE" class="section-link" data-product-id="12650">10-57</a> of this article in the manner described in those sections. The chairperson may impose
               as many of those specified prohibitions and restrictions as they find necessary because
               of the declared emergency to maintain an acceptable level of public order and services
               and to protect lives, safety and property. The chairperson shall recite the findings
               underlying their decision in the declaration.

               The declaration shall be in writing. For purposes of this article, and when circumstances
               do not permit the issuance of a traditional document, an electronic document such
               as e-mail, or a pdf bearing an electronic signature shall constitute a writing. The
               chairperson shall take reasonable steps to give notice of the terms of the declaration
               to those affected by it and shall post a copy of it in the county courthouse, with
               the clerk to the board, and on the county's website. The chairperson shall send reports
               of the substance of the declaration to the mass communications media which serve the
               affected area. The chairperson shall retain a text of the proclamation and furnish
               upon request certified copies of it.

               The chairperson is hereby authorized and empowered to limit by the declaration the
               application of all or any part of such restrictions to any area specifically designated
               or described within the county and to specific hours of the day or night and to exempt
               from all or any part of such restrictions, classes of people whose exemption the chairperson
               finds necessary for the preservation of the public order, public health, safety, or
               welfare needs of people within the county while they are acting within the scope of
               their official duties, or are acting under the direction of emergency response/recovery
               force personnel. Those exempt from restrictions may include, but not be limited to,
               firefighters, law enforcement personnel, EMS personnel, doctors, nurses, military
               personnel, public utility employees, and newspaper, radio and television employees.
               The declaration shall state the exempted classes and the restrictions from which each
               is exempted.
