§128-7  Civil defense emergency period. 
The term "civil defense emergency period" includes (1) a period of
civil defense emergency proclaimed pursuant to the Federal Civil Defense Act of
1950, or (2) the period of the existence of a state of civil defense emergency
in the State hereby authorized to be proclaimed by the governor if the governor
finds that an attack upon the State has occurred or that there is danger or
threat thereof, or that there has arisen any state of affairs or circumstances
of such a grave nature as to affect the common defense or the readiness of the
community to meet an attack, and which requires the invocation of provisions of
this chapter that are effective only during a period of civil defense
emergency.  The governor shall be the sole judge of the existence of the
danger, threat, state of affairs, or circumstances.  A period of civil defense
emergency proclaimed pursuant to the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950 shall
terminate as therein provided, and a period of civil defense emergency
proclaimed by the governor shall terminate upon proclamation by the governor.
