What are the requirements of an emergency management plan?

Government Code §418.106 provides that an emergency management plan must provide for wage, price, and rent controls and other economic stabilization methods in the event of a disaster. It must also provide for curfews, blockades and limitations on utility use in an area affected by a disaster, and rules governing entrance to and exit from the affected area, and other security measures.
