B. If a natural disaster or terrorist attack occurs in another state and, as a consequence of the natural disaster or terrorist attack, a state of emergency is declared by the governor of that state and the declared state of emergency results in individuals being temporarily relocated to Arizona and unable to refill existing prescriptions, the board shall cooperate with this state to ensure the provision of drugs, devices and professional services to the relocated individuals. C. When if a state of emergency has been declared pursuant to this section, a pharmacist may work in the affected county, city or town and may dispense a one-time onetime emergency refill prescription of up to a thirty-day supply of a prescribed medication if both of the following apply: 1. In the pharmacist's professional opinion the medication is essential to the maintenance of life or to the continuation of therapy. 2. The pharmacist makes a good faith effort to reduce the information to a written prescription marked "emergency prescription" and then files and maintains the prescription as required by law. D. If the state of emergency declared pursuant to this section continues for at least twenty-one days after the pharmacist dispenses an emergency prescription pursuant to subsection C of this section, the pharmacist may dispense one additional emergency refill prescription of up to a thirty day thirty-day supply of the prescribed medication. E. A pharmacist who is not licensed in this state, but who is currently licensed in another state, may dispense prescription medications in those affected counties, cities or towns in this state during the time that a declared state of emergency exists pursuant to this section if both of the following apply: 1.
