Governor Rick Snyder has activated National Guard units to go to

work in Flint. Guard troops will relieve American Red Cross volunteers

who have been staffing distribution centers that have been handing out

bottled water, filters, and testing kits to help address the lead

contamination crisis. The Red Cross volunteers will join the water

resource teams that are going door to door in the city. The governor has

also assigned State Police troopers and other government workers to the

door-to-door effort. There’s no word yet on which units or how many

Guard members are being called up.
