Scott Declares State Of Emergency
August 25, 2012
Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency Saturday morning in advance of Isaac’s anticipated impact on the state.
The order allows state, regional, and local governments can take necessary actions to protect the lives and property of the people in threatened communities. Isaac is forecast to impact both the southern part of the state, including the Keys, and the Panhandle.
““While Florida is facing another tropical storm, our State Emergency Response Team prepares for these types of weather events year round. The Executive Order is a normal step in these preparations, activating resources to assist local officials in response to an emergency. Florida’s emergency response officials are accustom to protecting the 19 million residents and hundreds of thousands of visitors that are here every day,” Scott said.
