No local requests have been made in disaster aid in response to devastation from Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
While residents are wanting to help in the effort, Marshall County Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery encourages all to stay put until the Indiana Department of Homeland Security can determine what needs may be. Avery says unsolicited volunteers or donations will hinder the ability to continue response efforts and the recovery process.
Avery indicated that the Northern Indiana response teams have not been deployed. Responders are ready in case a call-out is made.
