Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management - Proclamation - Oct. 24, 2013
WHEREAS, because of the late harvest and high demand for petroleum products throughout the Midwest, the people of the State of Iowa are faced with extremely low supplies of propane; and WHEREAS, adequate supplies of propane are necessary to continue normal agricultural harvesting and to provide residential heating to our citizens, particularly those in rural portions of the state; and WHEREAS, the effects of this propane shortage are being felt throughout the State of Iowa; and
WHEREAS, these conditions threaten the peace, health, and safety of the citizens of the State of Iowa and its agricultural industry and accordingly provide legal justification for the issuance of a Proclamation of a State of Disaster Emergency pursuant to Iowa Code § 29C.6(1). NOW, THEREFORE, I, TERRY E. BRANSTAD, Governor of the State of Iowa, by the power and authority vested in me by the Iowa Constitution Art.
