What’s in it
AI summary When the governor or the president declares a disaster emergency, state workers and officials cannot be held legally responsible for their actions. As long as they are acting in good faith to help during the emergency, they are protected from being sued for mistakes or omissions. This rule applies to the state and anyone working on its behalf during these crises.1
