(c) It shall be the responsibility of the licensee conducting any weather modification activity to notify the director of any emergency that the licensee could be expected to reasonably foresee, including any existing emergency that might be grounds for revision, suspension or modification under this section in an emergency administrative proceeding and that might in any way be caused or affected by weather modification activities.
