Pennsylvania’s Gov. Tom Wolf signed a fourth renewal of his 90-day opioid disaster declaration last week and noted recent successes in the ongoing battle against the epidemic.

“I am again renewing the 90-day opioid disaster declaration, the best current means we have to maintain a concerted effort focused on fighting this scourge on our state and our nation,” Wolf said. “The renewal allows the 16 state agencies working together as part of the Opioid Command Center at PEMA to continue their collaborative approach at creating and implementing initiatives that are making a difference across many areas of this battle.”
