GOVERNOR'S OFFICE [46 Pa.B. 1641]
[Saturday, April 2, 2016]Proclamation Terminating the State of Disaster Emergency March 23, 2016
Whereas, on January 21, 2016, I proclaimed the existence of a disaster emergency in the Commonwealth due to a severe winter event that was expected to impact the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, causing dangerous winter weather conditions including snow and ice accumulation; and
Whereas, this winter event caused severe adverse effects to multiple political subdivisions in the Commonwealth resulting in impacts that were both immediate and long term, and required a comprehensive partnership between the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions for effective recovery; and
Whereas, immediate steps were taken to stabilize the affected areas and recovery operations continue, and ongoing monitoring of conditions and investigations made at my direction have disclosed that the adverse impacts of this event have been mitigated such that emergency conditions no longer exist.
Now Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of section 7301(c) of the Emergency Management Services Code (35 Pa.C.S. § 7101 et seq.), I do hereby proclaim the termination of the state of disaster emergency in the Commonwealth.
Given under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, on this twenty-third day of March in the Year of our Lord two thousand and sixteen, and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and fortieth.
Governor
