COLUMBUS, OH (WLIO) - In the wake of last week's deadly tornadoes, Governor Mike DeWine has declared four local counties under a state of emergency, deploying the Ohio National Guard to hard-hit Indian Lake.
Auglaize, Hancock, Logan, and Mercer counties are included in the state of emergency, along with seven other Ohio counties. This declaration will allow state agencies and organizations to provide services, supplies, equipment, and personnel to aid in the tornado response and recovery efforts.
Governor DeWine has also activated the Ohio National Guard to Logan County to assist with storm clean-up following the deadly EF-3 Indian Lake tornado. Personnel from the 200th REDHORSE Squadron were deployed to Logan County to perform an assessment of much needed support for the region.
