Please see the attached Executive Order 10-191, regarding an extension of Governor Charlie Crist’s declaration of a State of Emergency due to ongoing economic impact from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The declaration is amended to reduce the number of counties covered in the Executive Order to the seven most affected counties of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf and Franklin.

Statement by
GOVERNOR CHARLIE CRIST
Regarding Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill State of Emergency

“While we are grateful the Deepwater Horizon well stopped gushing oil more than a month ago, counties in Northwest Florida hardest hit by oil continue to see hotel and travel cancellations. These counties still need our assistance to strengthen their economies, and we must be wise and prudent to do so. I remain committed to helping affected individuals, businesses and local governments recoup any economic losses they experienced, whether due to oil in the Gulf of Mexico coming ashore or the public’s misperceptions about the extent of the oil’s impact.”
