Hi Dave, That's correct. All emergencies and disaster declarations begin and end at the local level through the Michigan Emergency Management Act (Public Act 390 of 1976). Our third district Michigan State Police emergency management coordinator has been working closely working with Genesee County Emergency Management Coordinator Jenifer Boyer. At this time, the county has not requested state assistance through the Michigan Emergency Management Act. Jenifer Boyer would be a good source to talk to about what sort of local declarations have been made and operations are taking place at the local level. | hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Ron Ron Leix Public Information Officer (PIO) Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division Michigan State Police 4000 Collins Road Lansing, MI 48910 TX: (517) 336-6464 “A PROUD tradition of SERVICE through EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, and COURTESY”

Hi Damon, xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1173_2955_2956_1 I'm including on this email Ron Leix from Michigan State Police, who is the expert in all things related to emergencies. My impression is that such a declaration request starts with local authorities. Ron, can you help me with the process and how it works? Damon, it's also important to remember that the state continues to work with Flint leaders on their infrastructure challenges. In addition to the $6 million the state recently approved for the temporary reconnection to the Great Lakes Water Authority, the state earlier awarded the city $2 million in grants to improve infrastructure and $2.2 million in savings from restructured loans that can be directed to infrastructure repairs.

There are several groups who are demanding the Governor issue a State of Emerfency related to the water & infrastructure situation in Flint. They claim it would open up the door for federal assistance. My questions are... DOES the governor have the power/authority to declare a State of Emergency for issues like what's happening in Flint? IF such a declaration was made- does it open the doors to federal assistance for example... to replace old lead service lines... and/or other infrastructure? Has the governor considered/discussed asking for additional monetary help from the federal government for infrastructure repairs/replacements in Flint? Lastly, the governor has called for a third party review of the decision making that went into Flint's water source switch- problems that followed. What's the latest on that effort? Will the legislature have a role- Sen. Ananich says Legislature should have a role. Thank you Damon Maloney abc12 News Sent from my iPhone xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0382_0780_0780_1

Hi Dave, Wanted to check if the technical advisory committee for Flint water situation is meeting today? If so-- is that meeting open to public? Sent via the Samsung GALAXY 8@4, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1005_2654_2654_1

We're always glad to help, Damon - that's what we're here for. Please just reach out in advance in the future. Stay tuned - as governor and team have noted, our administration has dedicated a lot of time and resources to work collaboratively on this issue as well as see what additional action items we can do and help with. We were hoping to have that wrapped up by week's end. As details get finalized, | know folks will be in touch. More soon, SW
