§385-1  Additional unemployment compensation
benefits; payable when.  The additional unemployment benefits provided for
in this chapter shall be authorized when a disaster, either natural or manmade,
has struck the State, or any county thereof causing damage to a substantial
number of persons and families so as to require assistance from the State, and
an unemployment problem has been created thereby.



Upon the occurrence of the disaster, the
governor may provide additional unemployment benefits in the appropriate county
or counties as provided for in this chapter.  The additional benefits shall be
operative upon the issuance by the governor of a proclamation specifically
invoking this chapter and identifying the county or counties which have been
affected and in which provision for additional unemployment benefits shall be
made operative. [L 1961, c 157, pt of §1; Supp, §93B-2; HRS §385-1; am L 1972,
