Gov. Larry Hogan Rescinds State Of Emergency In 8 Counties
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has rescinded the State of Emergency in eight Maryland counties.
While some of the central and eastern parts of the state, including the beaches, remain under a state of emergency, Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery, Howard, and Prince George's do not.
Hogan said based on the weather projections sending Joaquin off to seas, the remaining 15 Maryland counties and Baltimore City will remain under the state of emergency until further notice.
"With the storm moving away from our coasts, we are directing state resources to the counties and areas with the highest potential to need assistance," said Governor Hogan. "However, the majority of the state still remains under a state of emergency and rain and wind gusts could cause power outages and flooding in low-lying areas. We continue to encourage Marylanders to use common sense and look after family members and neighbors who might need help during this time."
