CINNAMINSON, NJ — An emergency proclamation for Cinnaminson was issued Wednesday, following a powerful storm that caused flooding throughout the township.

The proclamation allows township officials to maximize efforts toward continuing all essential governmental operations and protect township residents and property, according to the municipality. It also authorizes the township to promulgate "needed orders, rules and regulations as are necessary" to address issues that may arise from the storm's aftermath.

Danny Norman, Cinnaminson's emergency management coordinator, issued the proclamation, which the township announced on Nixle at 3:17 p.m. Wednesday.

It wasn't immediately clear what additional actions the township may take as a result of the proclamation's issuance. Patch contacted municipal officials and will update with any response.

Flooding continued to hamper Cinnaminson on Wednesday following a rainstorm that pummeled the region Tuesday night. At least 2.2 inches of rain fell in the township, while winds hit 50-60 mph in the area, according to the National Weather Service.

Emergency personnel conducted water rescues at three Cinnaminson homes because of flooding, according to a Burlington County spokesperson. Delran was the county's hardest-hit town with more than 50 homes impacted — predominantly around Alden and Stewart Avenues and River Drive — officials said.
