THE GOVERNOR

[41 Pa.B. 1753]
[Saturday, April 2, 2011]

Amendment to Proclamation of January 31, 2011

March 10, 2011

 Whereas, on January 31, 2011, I declared an emergency declaration due to a winters storm, accompanied by substantial accumulations of snow and ice that impacted the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with severe weather conditions; and

 Whereas, the winter storm conditions, which included heavy snowfall and ice, have resulted in road closures, community public safety delays, property damage, and other adverse impacts upon the population of the Commonwealth; and

 Whereas, these severe winter weather conditions have continued throughout February and March 2011 with additional snowfall thereby further accumulating on the existing snowpack; and

 Whereas, heavy rain that began on March 9, 2011, may cause localized flooding to occur in certain creeks and streams causing severe damage to roads, streets, bridges, private homes, businesses and pose other adverse life safety impacts upon the general population of the Commonwealth; and

 Whereas, it is anticipated that these severe storms, consisting of heavy rainfall, exacerbated by melting snow, may cause further extensive flooding on the major river systems of the Commonwealth; 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. as amended), I do hereby amend my Proclamation of January 31, 2011, as follows:

 1. All state agencies are directed to render additional resources as is necessary to assist county and municipal efforts to mitigate and contend with the magnitude and severity of this continuing and expanding disaster emergency.

 2. The provisions of the January 31, 2011 shall remain in effect.

 3. This Amendment to Proclamation shall take effect immediately.

 Given under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, this tenth day of March in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven of the Commonwealth the two hundred and thirty-fifth.

 

 

 Governor
