Emergency activities that are necessary to protect public health, safety or welfare, including preventing damage to natural resources, may be undertaken without obtaining a coastal erosion management permit. Whenever emergency activities are undertaken, damage to natural protective features and other natural resources must be prevented, if possible, or minimized.
The Administrator shall be notified by the person responsible for taking the emergency measures within two working days from the commencement of an emergency measure and a description of the problem and activities provided. The description must be in written form, outline the public health or safety or resource for which protection was sought and relate the measures which were taken to secure the protection.
