This declaration is being made by Mars Borough to coordinate response measures which may need to occur with state and county officials. This is a public announcement not intended to alarm residents of any new health risks and/or incidents taking place within our community that would be addressed by the appropriate medical authorities for our area. Furthermore, this declaration will ease the normal requirements placed upon local governments to hold unscheduled impromptu meetings and to coordinate resources with agencies like PEMA and FEMA as maybe needed at the appropriate time.
