Appointment, functions, and powers of persons involved in civil defence emergency management - National Recovery Manager

11A: Delegation of certain functions and powers of Director to National Recovery Manager

You could also call this:

"The boss can pass some jobs to the National Recovery Manager to help during emergencies."

The Director can give some of their jobs and powers to another person, in writing, to help with a national transition period. This can include jobs and powers mentioned in sections 8(2)(h) and 9(2)(a). The Director can do this at any time, even if there is no national transition period happening or about to happen.

When the Director gives these jobs and powers to someone, that person is called the National Recovery Manager. They have all the powers that the National Recovery Manager is supposed to have under this law.

If the Director does not give these jobs and powers to someone, then the Director is the National Recovery Manager and has all the powers that come with it.
