8/4/2019 Gov Malloy Emergency Powers Irene

1/2

The Declaration of Emergency provides Governor Malloy with a number of emergency

powers, including:

The ability to order evacuations of all or part of the population of a stricken orthreatened area and take necessary steps for receipt and care of evacuees

The ability to modify or suspend any state statute, regulation, or requirement (for

example: altering work hours, waiving licensing requirements, etc.)

The ability to order civil preparedness forces into action

The ability to designate vehicle and person routes and movements

The forecast path of Hurricane Irene has convinced me that the signing of this

declaration is necessary, and will help us react more quickly and effectively in the event

of a serious weather event, said Governor Malloy. I will continue to work with stateand local officials and authorities to ensure that our state is as prepared as possible for

Hurricane Irene, and can react as efficiently as possible on behalf of our residents.
