Section 112.1 - Scope

(a) Whenever the Governor shall have proclaimed that conditions of disaster emergency exist throughout this Commonwealth or in one or more political subdivisions thereof due to a natural disaster including but not limited to floods, heavy snows, or prolonged periods of subfreezing weather, officials of any political subdivision affected by such conditions of disaster emergency shall have the authority to clear such roadways as are necessary for the health, safety and welfare of residents, even though such roadways are not officially the responsibility of such political subdivisions. In the event that a water system owned or operated by a political subdivision or municipal authority is damaged, destroyed, or made inoperable as a direct result of such conditions of disaster emergency, the political subdivision or municipal authority shall have the authority to lease or hire such personnel and equipment as may be needed to effect restoration of such water system.

(b) Whenever the Governor shall have proclaimed that conditions of disaster emergency exist throughout this Commonwealth or in one or more political subdivisions due to a natural disaster, he may direct funds to be made available for the reimbursement of political subdivisions and municipal authorities in accordance with the application procedures outlined in § 112.5 (relating to procedures). Reimbursement will be made only if the Governor makes available funds for that specific purpose. The total amount of reimbursement shall never exceed $1 million in any one year except by action of the General Assembly.
