Gov. Tom Wolf signed a proclamation of disaster emergency Tuesday evening in anticipation of Wednesday s snowstorm.
Expected power outages and damages as well as travel affected his decision, according to Wolf s announcement. The governor also spoke Tuesday about the impacts the weather may have on the COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
“This proclamation makes it easier for all of those involved in vaccine delivery and keeping people safe to do their jobs,” Wolf said.
While the emergency proclamation does not mention school closures, a number of county schools already made their calls Tuesday night.
