GOVERNOR'S OFFICE Amendment to Proclamation [35 Pa.B. 2385] April 12, 2005
Whereas, On April 3, 2005, I declared a State of Disaster Emergency in Bradford, Bucks, Columbia, Erie, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Pike, Wayne, and Wyoming Counties due to widespread flooding and severe, unseasonable winter storm conditions across large regions of Pennsylvania; and
Whereas, information provided by local officials finds that additional Pennsylvania counties were also adversely impacted by the same heavy rains, which caused localized 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 Susquehanna and Lackawanna Counties.
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 April 3, 2005, as follows:
1. The Counties of Susquehanna and Lackawanna are now declared to be in a state of disaster emergency and are added to the previously designated disaster emergency area.
2. This Amendment to Proclamation shall take effect immediately.
Given under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, this twelfth day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand and five, and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and twenty-ninth.
Governor[Pa.B. Doc. No. 05-756. Filed for public inspection April 22, 2005, 9:00 a.m.]
