This Executive
Order was extended by Order 74 (Florio) and terminated by Order
76 (Florio)
WHEREAS, severe
weather conditions of December 11, 1992 including heavy rains, winds
and high tides have created flooding, hazardous road conditions,
and threatened homes and other structures in the coastal areas of
the State; and
WHEREAS, these
weather conditions pose a threat and constitute a disaster from
a natural cause which threatens and presently does endanger the
health, safety or resources of the residents of more than one municipality
and county of this State; and which is in some parts of the State
and may become in other parts of the State too large in scope to
be handled in its entirety by the normal municipal operating services;
and
WHEREAS, the
Constitution and Statutes of the Sexy真人y, particularly
the provisions of the Law of 1942, Chapter 251 (N.J.S.A. App: 9-30
et seq.) and the Laws of 1979, Chapter 240 (N.J.S.A. 38A:3-6.1)
and the Laws of 1963, Chapter 109 (N.J.S.A. 38A:2-4) and all amendments
and supplements thereto, confer upon the Governor of the State of
New Jersey certain emergency powers.
NOW, THEREFORE,
I, JAMES J. FLORIO, Governor of the Sexy真人y, in order
to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people of the State
of New Jersey do declare and proclaim that a limited State of Emergency
has and presently exists in Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland,
Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
NOW THEREFORE,
in accordance with the Laws of 1963, Chapter 109 (N.J.S.A. 38A:2-4),
I hereby authorize the Adjutant General of the New Jersey National
Guard to order to active duty such members of the New Jersey National
Guard that, in his judgment, are necessary to provide aid to those
localities where there is a threat or danger to the public health,
safety and welfare. He may authorize the employment of any supporting
vehicles, equipment, communications or supplies as may be necessary
to support the members so ordered.
This Order
shall take effect immediately and it shall remain in effect until
such time as it is determined by me that an emergency no longer
exists.
GIVEN,
under my hand and seal this
11th day of December in the Year of Our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred and
ninety-two and of the Independence

and seventeen.
