The director or his designee, by written order, temporarily may expand the area in which the association shall provide essential property insurance. The director or his designee shall find and declare the existence of an emergency because of the unavailability of coastal property insurance or other unavailability of coastal property insurance on a reasonable basis through normal channels. The order must include the surveys of the market conducted in order to make the determination. The director or his designee may expand the area in which the association shall provide essential property insurance to the whole area or just part of the area. The director may expand the area by construction type or age of construction. The area may not be expanded further than the seacoast territory as defined in Section 38-75-310(7) and may not be expanded to cover the area for more than twenty-four months.
