How do I log my time when operating under an emergency exemption?

Since the hours-of-service rules do not apply when operating under declaration of emergency issued under 49 CFR 390.23, you do not have to maintain a record of duty status (log).  However, it is recommended that, for future reference, you explain the activity in the log “remarks” section without completing the detailed grid.
