The civil defense organization shall have the authority to set the hours of black-out of the municipality and to make other regulations (which shall have the force of law), as may be reasonable in light of circumstances existing at the time, to protect life and property, provided a majority of any assembly members immediately available consent. Oral consent is sufficient, but any such oral consent shall be reduced to writing within such time as is feasible.
