to act as a temporary emergency independent adjuster on behalf of the insurer if the insurer obtains for the individual a temporary emergency independent adjuster license under this section.
(b) An insurer described in subsection (a) must, not more than five (5) days after the individual begins to adjust claims arising from the declared catastrophe, submit to the commissioner an application for temporary emergency licensure of the individual under this section.
