During a state of emergency, when the Governor finds it not sufficient to have a local control to ensure the safety and protection of the residents because the local authorities had not implemented the steps for the ordinances and regulations appropriate for the emergency or if the extent of the emergency exceeds the local authorities’ capability of coping, the Governor may exercise the following powers: to restrict and prohibit different activities as enumerated in G.S. 166A-19.31(b). Such prohibition or restriction should last after the termination of the state of emergency.

The officials of the counties and municipalities may implement ordinances and regulations so as to impose the prohibitions and restrictions on the affected areas.
