HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — The Hernando County executive Policy Group has extended the local state of emergency declaration as of September 29th.
The declaration "gives Hernando County government the authority to take action as needed to ensure the health, safety, and welfare" of the community, a media release states. That includes spending money for emergency situations, getting resources, renting needed equipment, hiring workers, etc.
The local state of emergency will remain in effect for seven day, or until it is rescinded.
There are some truly inspiring people who call the Tampa Bay area home. People who overcome odds that others could not even imagine. Tampa Bay 28 anchor Lauren St. Germain met a woman who is doing just that, as she competes at an international level after 2 life-saving lung transplants.
