statute, local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation, or parts
thereof, of any agency during a state disaster emergency if compliance
with such statute, local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation

necessary to cope with the disaster; and

WHEREAS, Executive Order number 47.3 of 2025 temporarily suspended

cause; and (iii) report any employee who is found to have
participated in the illegal and unlawful strike to the Office of
