The problem is the law is just ripe for abuse.
Who determines that their is an emergency?
Who determines when that emergency is over?
Who determines what property can be seized?
Who determines how the seized property is to be "redistributed"?
What mechanism's exist to track the seizure of property?
How is the property owner informed of th seizure of his assets if he is not present?
Anyway you cut it, this law stinks to high heavens. It shouldn't even be considered in America. Even in an emergency the rights of individual citizens should be tantamount.
Would you spend the money on a generator, large stocks of food, etc. for your own family, when they may just be taken from you "for the public good?" And what good does compensation do in an emergency?
"File your claim with the county office, and you should hear something back from them in 6 to 8 weeks. Until then, good luck."
Socialists everywhere, it's depressing.
