The board of directors of any domestic insurer may at any time adopt emergency by-laws, subject to repeal or change by action of those having power to adopt regular by-laws for the insurer, which shall be operative during a national emergency caused by an attack on the United States or by a nuclear, atomic or other disaster which makes it impossible or impracticable for an insurer to conduct its business in strict accord with applicable provisions of law, its by-laws, or its certificate of incorporation or charter.
