Flooding puts Slippery Rock in state of emergency<\/p>\n
Slippery Rock Mayor Jondavid Longo signed a declaration of disaster emergency Sunday evening after serious flooding in the area.<\/p>\n
In a post on Facebook, Longo said the declaration will remain in place for a week, as Slippery Rock and the surrounding area experience significant flooding, resulting in \u201cnumerous roads\u201d being closed.<\/p>\n
Residents are being asked to stay off the road unless necessary and to never drive through floodwaters.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if floodwaters are not covering the roadway, debris, washed-out pavement, damaged shoulders, and downed tree limbs may make travel extremely dangerous,\u201d Longo said in the post.<\/p>\n
The declaration of emergency directs the immediate mobilization of all available borough personnel, equipment, facilities and resources necessary to respond to and mitigate the impact of the flooding.<\/p>\n
It also implements road closures, traffic control, detours and evacuations, if needed.<\/p>\n
In the declaration, Longo requested mutual aid assistance and resources from Butler County Emergency Management, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency as well as neighboring jurisdictions and the state.<\/p>\n
