Oregon Declares Emergency for Fuel Supply

Oregons governor declares state of emergency to secure fuel supplies amid Olympic Pipeline shutdown, causing concerns about potential disruptions during the busy Thanksgiving travel period. The governors declaration involves temporarily waiving certain rules to keep the supply chain moving and prevent major shortages. The BP petrochemical pipeline, which runs from Washington into Oregon, has been out of service for about a week due to a leak near Everett, Washington. Oregon officials do not anticipate a fuel shortage but caution about a slight increase in fuel prices due to alternative delivery methods. In Washington, the pipeline shutdown is affecting air travel in Seattle, with flight delays due to fuel issues. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
