Hurricane Sandy makes landfall, projected to move toward Great Lakes

As the superstorm called Hurricane Sandy finally hits landfall on October 29, the surge is projected to move from the New York tri-state area toward the Great Lakes region, potentially affecting Wisconsin. In fact, President Barack Obama's and Republican candidate Mitt Romney's plans to campaign in the state this week have been thwarted due to the inclement weather.

In preparation for the storm, the state of Wisconsin has issued its National Guard to be on standby in order to assist any civilian authorities with hurricane relief efforts. This isn't the first time the state's National Guard has been used to provide support, as in 2005 the troops helped in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and in 2009 during the North Dakota ice storms.

According to WMTV, Madison's NBC affiliate, the National Guard will function as part of FEMA ground task force.

"Wisconsin's outstanding National Guard is ready to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy," Governor Scott Walker told the media. "As our nation braces for this massive storm, Wisconsin is hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. If resources are needed, Wisconsin stands ready to deploy the National Guard for assistance."

Court reporters can provide aid to local broadcasters and new sources

As the storm approaches Wisconsin, citizens will need to be able to access information from local news stations in order to stay abreast on power outages, severely flooded areas, road damage and other necessary safety information. As such, these stations will need to provide accurate closed caption options for citizens that may be hard of hearing. By partnering with real-time certified, Milwaukee court reporters, broadcasters can ensure that all citizens are well-informed and safe.
