Amendment to Proclamation of Disaster Emergency

June 28, 2018

 Whereas, on January 10, 2018, I declared a disaster emergency due to the opioid crisis that is ravaging the country, including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its citizens;

 Whereas, my Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of January 10, 2018, was renewed by Amendment to Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (Amendment) on April 4, 2018 for an additional 90-days. The April 4, 2018, Amendment will automatically expire on July 3, 2018, unless further extended by my official renewal;

 Whereas, the opioid crisis continues to be of such magnitude or severity that emergency action is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of affected citizens in Pennsylvania;

 Whereas, the opioid crisis continues to be a public health emergency in Pennsylvania contributing to addiction, overdose emergencies and deaths; and

 Whereas, investigations by the Opioid Unified Coordination Group indicate that additional resources of the Commonwealth may be needed to mitigate and contend with the magnitude and severity of this continuing and expanding disaster emergency.

 Now Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of section 7301(c) of the Emergency Management Services Code, 35 Pa.C.S. § 7301(c), I do hereby order and direct as follows:

 1. The Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of January 10, 2018, renewed by Amendment to Proclamation of Disaster Emergency dated April 4, 2018, is renewed for an additional period of ninety days, and shall continue to apply to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 2. All directives, authorized actions and provisions of the January 10, 2018, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency, and the April 4, 2018, Amendment to Proclamation of Disaster Emergency shall remain in full force and effect until either rescinded by me or terminated by operation of law 90-days following the effective date of this Proclamation Amendment.

 3. This Proclamation shall take effect immediately.

 Given under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, this twenty-eighth day of June in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and forty second.

  


 Governor
