Summary
Eddie Scott briefed the board on his deployment under the Indiana Mutual Aid and IMAT structures to assist flood-affected Fayette County (Connersville), described his roles and potential county reimbursements, and said relief personnel covered his shift so he could return for the meeting.
Emergency Management Director Eddie Scott reported he was deployed Friday under the Indiana Mutual Aid/IMAT incident management assistance team to support response in Fayette County (Connersville) after wind and flood events. Scott said he served as planning section chief after arriving and that the county may receive reimbursements for his time, fuel and expenses under state rules.
"I normally do what's called a communication unit leader. That's one of the positions under the NIMS structure. I'm also a planning section chief," Scott said. He praised the state's mutual-aid system and said smaller counties may lack experience and resources, making regional assistance important. Scott noted he returned late to Whitley County and may be asked to return to the deployment.
