Messages from the Governor
The following message from the Governor
was received May 19, 2020 and read:
EXECUTIVE
ORDER
No.
2020-94
Declaration
of State of Emergency
Over the past several days parts
of Michigan have experienced heavy rainfall. As a result, the Edenville and Sanford Dam structures along the
Tittabawassee River in the county of Midland have failed. Residents in Edenville, the village of Sanford, and parts of the city of
Midland, among other areas, are evacuating in the face of a rising surge.
In response, the city of Midland
and the county of Midland have taken several actions that include declaring a
local state of emergency; activating disaster response and recovery operations;
evacuating and providing shelter to affected residents; and issuing emergency
public information. The assistance of voluntary organizations and the state are
required to protect public health, safety, and property, and to lessen or avert
more severe and lasting harm to the community.
Despite these measures, local
resources are insufficient to respond to the extreme flooding under the current
conditions. State assistance and other outside resources are necessary to
effectively respond to, and recover from, the impacts of flooding.
Under the Emergency Management
Act, 1976 PA 390, MCL 30.403(4), “[t]he governor shall, by executive order or
proclamation, declare a state of emergency if he or she finds that an emergency
has occurred or that the threat of an emergency exists.” Therefore, acting
under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, including the
Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, MCL 30.401 to 30.421, I order the
following:
1. A state of emergency is declared for the city
of Midland and the county of Midland.
2. Any emergency order issued in response to the
COVID-19 crisis is temporarily suspended to the extent such order impedes the
emergency response effort under this declaration.
3. The Emergency Management and Homeland Security
Division of the Department of State Police shall coordinate and augment all
state efforts and may call upon all state departments to utilize available
resources to assist in the designated area pursuant to the Michigan Emergency
Management Plan.
The state of emergency is
terminated at such time as the threats to public health, safety, and property
caused by the emergency no longer exist, and appropriate programs have been
implemented to recover from the effects of this emergency, but in no case later
than June 16, 2020, unless extended as provided by 1976 Public Act 390, as
amended.
