This executive
order rescinds EO #101 Whitman.
WHEREAS, Executive
Order No. 101, issued on September 15, 1999, declared a State of
Emergency in anticipation of the arrival of Tropical Storm Floyd
in the State of New Jersey; and
WHEREAS, Executive
Order No. 101 has been continued since September 15, 1999 due to
severe damage and destruction caused by the impact of Tropical Storm
Floyd, too large in scope to be handled by normal municipal operating
services; and
WHEREAS, the
emergency powers conferred upon the Governor by the Constitution
and statutes of the State of New Jersey are no longer necessary
to address any remaining aftermath caused by Tropical Storm Floyd;
NOW, THEREFORE,
I, CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN, Governor of the State of New Jersey,
by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
by the statutes of this State, do hereby order and direct:
1. The State
of Emergency declared in Executive Order No. 101 is hereby terminated
effective immediately; and
2. Executive
Order No. 101 and all rules, regulations and proclamations issued
thereunder are hereby rescinded.
I wish to
express my appreciation to the people of New Jersey for the manner
in which they cooperated during this emergency, and particularly
to those in the affected areas who rose to the occasion in the face
of unspeakable adversity. I want to express special gratitude to
those performing heroic rescues of flood-stranded residents in the
early morning hours of September 17, 1999, who undoubtedly were
indeed lifesavers.
Gratitude
is also expressed to all emergency responders for their untiring
efforts during the course of the emergency.
GIVEN,
under my hand and seal
this 30th day of January in the Year
of Our Lord, Two Thousand and
One, and of the Independence of
the United States, the Two Hundred
and Twenty-Fifth.
Christine
Todd Whitman
Governor
Attest: Robert
E. Fabricant
Chief Counsel to the Governor
