Chairman Gerald O. Corkin, Marquette County Board of Commissioners, has requested Governor Whitmer declare a “state of emergency” exists within Marquette County and to authorize Section 19 funding as outlined in 1976 Public Act 390.
In a letter to Governor Whitmer, Chairman Corkin states, “The response and recovery elements of the Marquette County Emergency Operations Plan have been activated, and local resources are being utilized to the fullest possible extent. Despite these efforts, local resources are not sufficient to cope with the situation and conditions continue to deteriorate.”
The following county agencies have been activated to support the response and recovery efforts of municipal and township governments throughout Marquette County:
Marquette County Road Commission
Marquette County Central Dispatch
Marquette County Sheriff’s Department
Marquette County Emergency Management
Marquette County Emergency Operations Center
Marquette County Resource Management Department
Marquette County Health Department
