Gov. Wes Moore has declared a State of Emergency due to the flooding in Western Maryland .

It comes after multiple days of heavy rains in areas like Allegany County.

“After surveying the damage and receiving updates on the work still ahead in Western Maryland, I’ve declared a State of Emergency to accelerate our response,” Moore said in a news release Thursday evening. “Today, our thoughts are with the Marylanders who have been directly impacted by this storm, and our gratitude is with all of the first responders, crisis managers, and public servants who raised their hands to support our people in a moment of need.”

Roughly 100 students and 50 staff members were evacuated by rescue boats on Tuesday afternoon — it was one of three schools that evacuated, and one of dozens of buildings, businesses and homes that has damage.

“We know we have multiple bridges out. We have multiple roads that are out. There’s one just north of here that is out completely. Multiple residents are stuck without a way in or out,” said Jason Bennett, an administrator for Allegany County.

Bennett anticipates a lengthy cleanup costing millions of dollars after several areas in Western Maryland saw five inches of rain on Tuesday.
