Allen County's Emergency Management director is appointed to a national council. 
Russ Decker spent the day Friday at the White House for the National Mass Care Council's first meeting.  

Decker is one of 18 people appointed to serve on the newly formed group.  Its goal is to come up with common goals and identify resources needed for the nation to respond to disasters. 

That includes finding temporary shelters, distributing relief supplies, reuniting families, and providing recovery assistance.
