(ii) vacate or stay an attachment or garnishment of property, money, or debts held by another person, whether before or after judgment; and

(2) subject to subsection (c) of this section, on motion of the person in emergency management service, person suffering injury or damage, or another person acting on behalf of that person, the court shall:

(i) stay the execution of a judgment or order entered against the person in emergency management service or person suffering injury or damage; and

(ii) vacate or stay an attachment or garnishment of property, money, or debts held by another person, whether before or after judgment.
