Hurricanes and bad weather conditions only last from hours to a few days not a year or more.
Or barrier islands closing down during hurricanes.
There are specific statutory powers granted to the Governor and other officials by the Florida Legislature for those situations (as well as limits on the powers).
Some things may very well be constitutional but not legal. For the legal part I will only discuss Florida when I have time for a detailed post because I don't have time to read through the statutes for each state.
