Northam declares State of Emergency; gas stations report shortages
Governor Northam declared a state of emergency Tuesday amid the ongoing distribution issues from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline. The pipeline from Texas to New York is one of Virginia’s largest fuel providers and was shut down over the weekend after a ransomware cyber-attack May 7. The EPA issued a temporary fuel transportation waiver to increase the supply of gasoline, and Northam’s emergency declaration allows state agencies to issue their own waivers as required by the state. The declaration also provides increased flexibility and funding for state and local governments to ensure adequate fuel supply.
