New York, NY - Sullivan County Manager David Fanslau declared Friday a local state of emergency for the towns of Callicoon, Delaware and Rockland for at least the next 24 hours.
Fanslau said he disaster has been declared due to extensive flooding from heavy rainstorms over a period of approximately 24 hours, resulting in substantial injury and damages to residences, buildings, businesses, roads, bridges and utilities within the affected areas, and other as yet undetermined damage. Such conditions threaten or imperil the public safety of citizens of the affected municipalities.
"I hereby direct the Sullivan County Department of Public Works and Sullivan County Sheriff to take whatever steps necessary to protect life and property, public infrastructure and other such emergency assistance as deemed necessary," siad Fanslau.
He is also requesting that Gov. Paterson to proclaim that a limited disaster has occurred for which local government is unable to respond adequately and that he shall declare a disaster emergency by executive order.
He also is requesting that all appropriate aid and assistance from the State of New York through the State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) and from the federal government through all of its appropriate agencies.
