PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 98-954

THE GOVERNOR

Amendment to Proclamation

June 3, 1998

   

Whereas, on May 31, 1998, a severe weather system that included a series of confirmed tornadoes struck several counties in Northeastern, Southcentral, and Southeastern Pennsylvania and caused extensive damage to private homes, businesses, public infrastructure and posed other adverse impacts upon the general population of those counties; and

Whereas, due to the severe weather system and resultant extensive damage in the above described areas of the Commonwealth, I declared a State of Disaster Emergency in nine counties of the Commonwealth on June 2, 1998; and

Whereas, a second severe weather system that included additional tornadoes struck other areas of the Commonwealth during the evening of June 2, 1998, causing additional damage to private homes and public infrastructure, and resulting in utility outages, road closures, and other adverse life safety impacts for the general population of Allegheny, McKean and Wyoming Counties; and

Whereas, investigations by state agencies of recently developing conditions indicate that additional resources of the Commonwealth may be needed to assist county and municipal efforts to mitigate and contend with the magnitude and severity of this expanding disaster emergency.

Now Therefore, Pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 7301(c) of the Emergency Management Services Code (35 Pa.C.S. Section 7101 et. seq.), I do hereby amend my Proclamation of June 2, 1998, as follows: The counties of Allegheny, McKean, and Wyoming are now declared to be in a state of disaster emergency and are added to the previously designated disaster emergency area. This Proclamation Amendment shall take effect immediately.

Given, under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, this third day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and twenty-second.

Ridge Signature
Governor
