§ 10-24. Reporting emergencies and emergency action.  


Latest version.
  • Any person who directly observes a nuisance posing an emergency threat to the public health or safety or to the environment shall immediately report the incident to the Myrtle Beach Police/Fire Communications Center and shall provide any information requested by the law enforcement officer needed to investigate or abate the potential emergency. If any nuisance exists in such a condition so menacing to the public health, peace or safety that it is necessary that it be summarily abated, the city enforcement officer, after consultation with and concurrence from the city manager may proceed to abate the nuisance without a hearing.
