Notice of Proclamation Declaring State of Emergency

The City of Dunnellon declared the following Proclamation.

PROCLAMATION PRO2024-03
City of Dunnellon, Florida
Declaration of a Local State of Emergency

WHEREAS, a well-defined tropical wave, now identified as 97L, could develop into a tropical depression, or stronger storm system, this weekend or early next week over the eastern Gulf of Mexico or near the Florida Peninsula. This storm system has the potential to produce severe weather in Marion County, including severe thunderstorms and strong wind gusts, possible tornados and potential flooding due to multi-day heavy rain events. As such, there currently exists a threat to the health, safety, and well-being to the citizens of Dunnellon and Marion County, and the concomitant need to prepare for such threat; and

WHEREAS, Governor Ron DeSantis on August 1, 2024, issued Executive Order Number 24-156 related to this storm system. Section 1 of the Executive Order declares that a state of emergency exists in multiple Florida counties, including Marion County. A copy of this Executive Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference.

WHEREAS, it is incumbent upon the City of Dunnellon, Florida, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, to take every prudent measure to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens and their property located in Dunnellon; and

WHEREAS, Florida Statute subsection 252.38(3), enumerating the emergency management powers of political subdivisions, provides at subparagraph (a)5, in part, “The duration of each state of emergency declared locally is limited to 7 days; it may be extended, as necessary, in 7 day increments.” and,

WHEREAS, the State Emergency Management Act [sections 252.31-252.60, Fla. Stat.] defines "Emergency" as "any occurrence, or threat thereof, whether natural, technological, or manmade, in war or in peace, which results in or may result in substantial injury or harm to the population or substantial damage to or loss of property." Sec. 252.34(3), Fla. Stat. (Emphasis added); and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the citizens of Dunnellon to activate emergency management preparations in order to minimize the hazards and damage that may be created by such storm; and

WHEREAS, certain additional personnel and specialized equipment are required to assist in administering the needs of the citizens and to determine the extent of damage; and

WHEREAS, the Mayor of Dunnellon hereby determines that tropical wave, now identified as Invest 97L, qualifies as an “emergency” as defined in F.S. Sec. 252.34(4) within the City of Dunnellon and such storm justifies the adoption of this declaration of state of local emergency.

NOW THEREFORE, I, Walter L. Green, Mayor of the City of Dunnellon, in accordance with the provisions of Florida Statute 252.38 and Chapter 22, Section 22.34 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, promulgate the following Declaration:

Section 1: A state of local emergency is hereby declared immediately, today, August 2, 2024, due to the likelihood that heavy rains and winds may result in extreme localized flooding, wind damage and possible tornadic activity in the City of Dunnellon.

Section 2: Pursuant to City of Dunnellon Ordinance 98-1, the City of Dunnellon Emergency Management Plan is hereby activated, and the Emergency Management Coordinator of the City of Dunnellon shall have the power, authority, and duty to take any and all action under the plan necessary for the preservation of the health, welfare, and safety of the people of Dunnellon.

Section 3: The Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Division of Emergency Management shall provide overall coordination for County response and the City of Dunnellon shall coordinate through the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Division of Emergency Management regarding any assistance to be provided.

Section 4: All agencies will provide the necessary assistance as requested by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Division of Emergency Management.

Section 5: The provision of the Declaration is in effect immediately and shall remain in effect for a period of seven (7) days, unless otherwise extended in seven day increments as necessary, after determining the need therefore, based on the latest information from the Director of the Division of Emergency Management. Each such extension shall be documented by written memoranda to the Director of the Division of Emergency Management.

DECLARED this 2nd day of August 2024.
