National Guard facility helps in emergencies
By: CBS 21 Web Staff
HARRISBURG -- The Pennsylvania National Guard has a new facility that will help them respond during emergencies.
Governor Corbett was on hand for the dedication Friday morning at Fort Indiantown Gap. The Joint Emergency Operations Center gives the guard more options to help people in crisis situations, like Superstorm Sandy.
Our success depends greatly on what happens in this nerve center, where I can track reports of the governor, report to PEMA on what we're doing, what capacity we still have left, how much we've cost the Commonwealth cause we track that as well, Maj. Gen. Wesley Craig, PA Adjutant General said.
The new facility cost $1.5 million.
