Quiet emergency
By Billy Townsend
8:44 a.m., Polk County EOC, Bartow
It’s a distinctly casual atmosphere in here. Representatives of area law enforcement agencies are here monitoring the storm, but whatever weather Polk gets won’t come until the afternoon. As I step outside right now, it’s overcast, but there are no winds. They’re at a Level 3 status at the EOC, the minimal staffing level.
