The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) may request the Attorney General to institute a civil action for relief, including a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order or any other appropriate order in the appropriate district court, whenever any person: 1.

The court shall have jurisdiction to provide such relief as may be appropriate. Any relief granted by the court to enforce an order under subsection A of this section shall continue in effect until the completion or final termination of all proceedings for review of such order is made, unless the district court granting such relief sets it aside or modifies it.
