MAYOR JOHN LINDER DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY
FOR CHESTER
Effective 18:30 Eastern Standard Time following Governor
Corbett’s signing of a State of Emergency Declaration for the state of
Pennsylvania, Hon. Mayor John A. Linder of Chester PA, declared a subsequent
State of Emergency for Chester City. This authorizes Officials of the City of
Chester to meet the current demands of the emergency by the employment of
workers, renting of equipment, and purchasing of supplies and materials as
required to meet the emergency. Residents of the area should secure necessary
provisions for relocation and evacuation if necessary, acquire any emergency
supplies needed for a sustained amount of time, and seek updates and emergent
preparedness information from both the Chester City website at www.ChesterCity.com and the community
access channel ten in the Chester area. If you live
in a low lying flood prone area, you are encouraged to prepare to evacuate
should the need arise. If evacuation becomes necessary
the city will open a shelter at Showalter School located at 10th
& Lloyd streets. Stay tuned to Cable channel 10 and local news for updates.
Channel 10 is Comcast only.
