§ 2920. Emergency Work

(a) General Provisions.

(1) Emergency measures undertaken to save lives, to protect public health and safety, and to protect property in a jurisdiction proclaimed to be in a state of emergency by the Governor, are eligible for state financial assistance under Government Code Section 8685.2;

(2) When immediately necessary and no lesser emergency work is feasible, permanent restorative work on facilities damaged or destroyed by a disaster or emergency may be expedited as emergency work; and,

(3) Compliance with codes and standards applicable to permanent restoration work is not necessary for emergency work. When a state of emergency has been proclaimed and circumstances are such that permanent restoration of a facility can be quickly accomplished, or when no practical emergency alternative is available, eligible work should be considered under permanent restoration categories. For typical emergency work not requiring formal plans and specifications, consulting engineering services shall not normally be approved.
