CHARLOTTE AMALIE — Governor Kenneth Mapp has signed an order renewing the Virgin Islands State of Emergency declaration through September 1, 2018.
“As the Territory of the Virgin Islands of the United States has suffered an emergency and a major disaster due to Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the need for a state of emergency continues to exist in the territory,” the order states.
It is the seventh time Mapp has extended the emergency declaration for the Virgin Islands.
Never seen a Governor declare a state of emergency then take a vacation.
