The state of emergency allows the state to use Maryland National Guard resources, allows the Governor to suspend certain statutes (especially as they relate to commercial vehicles) and clears the way for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to send resources to Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the state of emergency, Maryland is providing assistances to the evacuation of Ocean City. The mayor and city council have ordered mandatory evacuation form the resort community as of midnight tonight. Earlier, local officials from the Eastern Shore coordinated with state agencies to begin evacuating the student workers from Ocean City to shelters on the western side of the Chesapeake Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Pet owners also should make preparations for care of their pets and make sure to have plenty of food. In addition, if asked to evacuate, make sure your plans include your pets. Some local shelters in Maryland have designated areas for pets, but many do not. Check with your local emergency management office for details.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, cell phone usage may be taxed during this event. Please limit cell phone calls to urgent or emergency calls and make them as brief as possible. Also do not call local 9-1-1 emergency centers unless you have a true emergency. Their lines need to remain open for serious emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest information on storm-related activity in Maryland, follow @MEMA_feeds and use the hashtag #MDhurricane.<\/p>\n<p>All state hurricane related information, including preparedness tips for Marylanders, can be found at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.maryland.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.maryland.gov\/<\/a>.

If you have a cell phone, program that person(s) as &#8220;ICE&#8221; (In Case of Emergency) in your phone.\u00a0Emergency personnel will often check your ICE listings. Make sure to tell your family and friends that you\u2019ve listed them as emergency contacts.<\/li>\n<li>Teach family members how to use text messaging (also knows as SMS or Short Message Service). Text messages can often get around network disruptions when a phone call might not be able to get through.<\/li>\n<li>Subscribe to alert services. Many communities now have systems that will send instant text alerts or e-mails to let you know about bad weather, road closings, local emergencies, etc. Sign up by visiting your<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ready.gov\/america\/local\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">local Office of Emergency Management web site<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Planning to Stay or Go<\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>Depending on your circumstances and the nature of the emergency, the first important decision is whether you stay where you are or evacuate. You should understand and plan for both possibilities. Use common sense and available information, including what you are learning here, to determine if there is an immediate danger. In any emergency, local authorities may or may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. However, you should watch TV, listen to the radio or check the Internet often for information or official instruction as it becomes available.

Methods of getting your attention vary from community to community. One common method is to broadcast via emergency radio and TV broadcasts. You might hear a special siren, or get a telephone call, or emergency workers may go door-to-door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download the Executive Order here (Vehicle Size and Weight Limits) &nbsp; Download the Executive Order (Nursing Home) &nbsp; Maryland residents must continue to prepare &nbsp; REISTERSTOWN, MD (August 25, 2011) \u2013 Governor Martin O\u2019Malley today declared a state of emergency as Hurricane Irene continued to move up the Atlantic Coast.
