of the PSA shall immediately paste a written notice of the emergency

the affected area in which such emergency is declared, and, in addition
thereto, he shall run an item in a newspaper of general circulation
in the area in which such emergency has been declared.
Any person violating the provisions of this article shall be
guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
