A. Whenever a disaster makes it imprudent or impossible to conduct the affairs of any local government at its regular location, the governing body may meet at any place, inside or outside the limits of the political subdivision, at the call of the presiding officer or any two members of the governing body, and designate by ordinance a temporary disaster location of the local government, which remains the seat of the local government until the governing body establishes a new location or until the disaster is declared ended by the legislature and the seat is returned to its normal location.
B. Any official act or meeting required to be performed at the seat of the local government is valid when performed at a temporary disaster location under this section.
