Preventing Recurring Damages
The Cowley County Emergency Management Agency is in the process of updating its 2005 Hazard Mitigation Plan. Cowley County will examine the overall risk and impact from past hazards on area residents, property, and critical infrastructure, and develops policies and initiatives to help communities avoid future losses.
The project is being organized and directed by the Cowley County Emergency Management Agency, with technical assistance provided by a consulting firm. A Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee composed of representatives from each political jurisdiction within the county will meet periodically to evaluate existing policies, areas at risk, hazards, and planning requirements and to discuss how Cowley County can better prepare against future floods, tornadoes, winter storms, wildfires, and more.
A critical component in developing an effective mitigation plan is participation of area residents in the planning process. If you are interested in learning more about the project, or providing input to the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee, contact Brian Stone at bstone@cowleycounty.org for further information.
