Wyandotte County, the Board of Public Utilities, the incorporated cities, school districts, hospitals, water and drainage districts, private non-profits, and other special districts worked together to develop the Wyandotte County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. The purpose of this plan is to develop a strategy to reduce the vulnerability of people and property in the County to the impacts of natural, man-made and technological hazards and to become eligible for mitigation funding programs from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The plan addresses a comprehensive list of 22 hazards-ranging from flooding to hazardous materials, tornados, and severe winter weather -and assesses the likely impacts of these hazards to communities in Wyandotte County. It also sets goals and prioritizes actions to reduce the impacts of future disasters on people and property in the County.
We would like your input on this important plan, which must be approved by the governing bodies of each participating jurisdiction, the State of Kansas, and FEMA. Your comments will be considered by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee and incorporated into the plan, as appropriate.
From November 19-December 3, 2009, the final draft plan will be available for your review at the following locations:
