In an emergency, when the department director or designee shall determine that the
public interest, public health, public morals, public safety, or public welfare requires
such action, any park, recreational facility, or department managed land, or any part
thereof, may be closed and all persons may be excluded from such area.
The county has designated certain facilities as emergency shelters. When a facility
is activated as an emergency shelter no activity other than those required for the
emergency will be permitted in the facility until such time as it is no longer needed
as a shelter. The county parks and recreation department will provide as much advance
notice as possible when a facility is activated as an emergency shelter. The county
shall not be responsible for any monetary impact associated with cancellation of activity
based on this section.
