Shawnee County will be in a “state of local disaster emergency” until June 30, 2021, after the resolution declaring a state of emergency was extended for the third time. “Given our continued battle with the COVID-19 crisis this will allow us continued access to potential CARES Act funding, or any other potential funding sources, as well as the requisition of additional PPE and other resources that may be needed,” said Errin Mahan, interim director of Shawnee County Emergency Management Department at Monday’s county commissioners meeting.
