For Immediate Release

March 8, 2025

RUFUS - My duty as Governor Of New Shire is to ensure the protection of the citizens of this state. That means ensuring they remain safe from crime, natural disasters and other potential causes of harm or death. Therefore, I am announcing that all residents in the Counties of Rufus, Nimitz, Samson, Frankfurt And Brock. The order is as follows:

1. All residents, persons and pets are required to evacuate the area

2. All residents who refuse to leave their homes, are responsible for their safety, and health when raging flood waters begin taking over your home.

3. All residents who are trapped in the homes after refusing to leave, may not receive help for days or potentially weeks, and assume that responsibility themselves.

The orders issued are to protect people and pets from serious bodily injury or death. Please ensure you follow this director as your life truly depends on your cooperation with this order. Flooding is expected to reach 12 inches and that is deadly. Follow all evacuation routes and for assistance New Shire State Troopers will be patrolling around until Sunday around 6:00 PM.
