THE GOVERNOR
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
[28 Pa.B. 2918]
Amendment to Proclamation June 11, 1998
Whereas, two severe weather systems that each included a series of confirmed tornadoes struck the Commonwealth on May 31, 1998 and June 2, 1998 and caused extensive damage to private homes, businesses, public infrastructure and posed other adverse impacts upon the general population of the Commonwealth; and
Whereas, due to the two severe weather systems and resultant extensive damage to many areas of the Commonwealth, I declared a State of Disaster Emergency in nine counties of the Commonwealth on June 2, 1998; and
Whereas, on June 3, 1998 and June 5, 1998, I amended my Proclamation of Disaster Emergency to add five additional counties to the previously designated disaster emergency area; and
Whereas, additional investigations have determined that the June 2, 1998 severe weather system caused isolated but serious damage to private homes, dairy farms, and a business in Susquehanna County to the extent that additional resources of the Commonwealth may be needed to assist county and municipal officials in Susquehanna County to mitigate and contend with the consequences of this 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 County of Susquehanna is now declared to be in a state of disaster emergency and is 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 eleventh 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.
Governor
