Irene Preparations ...Overkill?

For a change, everything was done right. Or at least more was done right than wrong.

Disaster declarations got made early, allowing resources to be available when they were needed, not after. I got to watch some of that resource allocation happen in the Emergency Operations Center. The National Guard guy was right there and able to task some equipment to a local fire company that was doing a water rescue that went bad.

Heck, I even ended up being one of those additional resources ... while I was working Rumor Control, there was a call for CISM and I had it filled.

I gather that was Horsham that needed assistance. What did they need from the National Guard?
