As used in this Chapter, the following terms shall have the designated meanings:
A. “State of Emergency” means the duly proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to
the safety of persons and property within the state caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm,
epidemic, civil unrest, drought, sudden and severe energy shortage, plant or animal infestation, the Governor’s
warning of an earthquake or volcanic prediction, or an earthquake, or other conditions, other than conditions resulting
from a labor controversy or conditions causing a “state of war emergency”, which, by reason of their magnitude, are

combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to combat, or with respect to regulated energy utilities, a sudden
and severe energy shortage requiring extraordinary measures beyond the authority vested in the California Public
Utilities Commission.
