This is an interesting update on the ongoing response to flooding in southern West Virginia and the financial aspects of the National Guard’s operations.
General Seward’s comments highlight how the National Guard is managing emergency funds during this crisis, and the collaboration with the state government to secure additional resources if needed.
The Governor’s Contingency Fund is key to addressing unexpected costs, like the increased allocation from $300,000 to $700,000 for the flood response.
If the costs continue to rise, it seems that the Governor will need to work closely with lawmakers to ensure continued funding.
