Because they are fixing something urgent to protect lives and property, they don’t have to follow the usual chapter rules, but they must send a notice to the department within two weeks of starting the repair.

The provisions of this chapter shall not be applicable to emergency work necessary to protect life or property; however, notification by the person or agency performing such emergency work shall be made to the department within 14 days of the commencement of such work.
