This is a situation in which if you are audited, then you will have to defend your position that it was an "emergency".
I suggest you get documentation from roofers and code enforcement agents who will state in writing that this is a health hazard. Actually having the city cite you for violating some city code would be perfect.
There is no hard-and-fast rule here.
