               Areas to which access is denied or restricted shall be designated by the sheriff and
               his subordinates or other law enforcement officer when directed in the declaration
               to do so by the chairperson. When acting under this authority, the sheriff and his
               subordinates may restrict or deny access to any area, street, highway or location
               within the county if that restriction or denial of access or use is reasonably necessary
               to promote efforts being made to overcome the emergency or to prevent further aggravation
               of the emergency.

               During a declared emergency, and within the emergency area, the Sheriff of Durham
               County is delegated authority to close streets, roads, highways, bridges, vehicular
               areas, or others areas ordinarily used for vehicular travel, except to the movement
               of emergency responders and other persons necessary for recovery from the emergency.
               When the sheriff so acts, they are to provide prompt notification to the emergency
               operations center.
