Governor Bob Riley has declared a state of emergency in Alabama, saying he has gotten information from the federal Department of Energy that energy shortages are likely because of Hurricane Ike.

A state law that prohibits "unconscionable pricing" of items for sale or rent goes into effect when the governor has declared a state of emergency.

Riley's declaration this afternoon says that "disruption of essential utility services, systems and severe energy shortages will likely occur."

Earlier today, the governor's office issued a statement saying Riley had limited authority to declare an emergency. State law does not allow the governor to declare an emergency unless there has been or there is anticipated to be an attack on the United States, a natural disaster of major proportions affecting Alabama or a public health emergency.

But Riley said he received new information this afternoon from the Energy Department about the energy situation in relation to the hurricane.

"I believe this new information means a threat to public health is a strong possibility due to the shortage of fuels," said Governor Riley. "I deem it an emergency."
