Uh, probably because conditions deteriorated overnight, emergency response has become better coordinated now that Martial Law has been declared, etc, etc. I think that with ML declared, the state agencies and military, as well as local law enforcement and fire depts, can be much bolder in making decisions without having to as carefully consider legalities, etc.
