State Homeland Security Director Greg Wilz said it would be a “huge challenge,” especially during a mass evacuation, but his office has winter shelter plans in place and various agencies are ready to respond. “The bottom line here is, if we are in a situation of life and limb, we are going to be humane in anything and everything we do,” Wilz said.
