PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 96-1623

THE GOVERNOR

Amendment to Proclamation

[26 Pa.B. 4632]

   Whereas, on September 8, 1996, I declared a State of Disaster Emergency in Juniata and Perry Counties due to widespread and unusually heavy rains from Tropical Storm Fran which struck those Counties on September 6, 1996, and caused extensive damage to roads, streets, bridges, private homes, businesses and posed other adverse life safety impacts upon the general population of those Counties; and

   Whereas, on September 10 and 11, 1996, I amended my Proclamation by adding Huntingdon, Mifflin and Montgomery Counties to the designated disaster emergency area, due to severe flash flooding that occurred in those counties from the heavy rains of September 6 and 8, 1996; and

   Whereas, additional information provided by local officials reveals that Cumberland County was also adversely impacted by the same heavy rains, which caused localized flash flooding to occur in certain creeks and streams and caused extensive road closures, damage to roads, streets, private homes, businesses, and continued adverse life safety impacts for the general population of Cumberland County; 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 continuing and expanding disaster emergency;

   Now Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 7301(c) of the Emergency Management Services Code (35 Pa.C.S.A. Section 7101 et seq.), I do hereby amend my Proclamation of September 8, 1996, as follows:

   1.  The County of Cumberland is now declared to be in a state of disaster emergency and is added to the previously designated disaster emergency area.

   2.  This Proclamation Amendment shall take effect immediately.

   GIVEN under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, this eighteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and twenty-first.
