The entire WKVI listening area is covered by a gubernatorial disaster declaration. Gov. Mike Pence issued the declaration for 29 Indiana counties. State law allows him to do so by executive order if he determines that a disaster involving widespread or severe damage, injury or loss of life or property has occurred or that the occurrence or threat of a disaster is imminent. Pence’s declaration covers the storm system that set up across the state on Sunday and allows the executive director of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to coordinate all necessary assistance with appropriate federal, state and local agencies.
