2.2.7 Other Assets
The vulnerability of Johnson County to disaster also involves inventorying the natural,
historic, cultural, and economic assets of the area. This is important for the following reasons:
• These types of resources warrant a greater degree of protection due to their unique and
irreplaceable nature and contribution to the overall economy.
• Knowing about them ahead of time allows for a proactive stance to prepare before a disaster
hits. In the immediate aftermath, when the potential for additional impacts is higher, it allows for
an immediate response in order to lessen any damages.
• The rules for reconstruction, restoration, rehabilitation, and/or replacement are often different
for these types of designated resources and knowing ahead of time can save time, money, and
other resources..
• Natural resources can have beneficial functions that reduce the impacts of natural hazards,
such as wetlands and riparian habitat, which help absorb and attenuate floodwaters.
• Losses to economic assets (e.g., major employers or primary economic sectors) could have
severe impacts on a community and its ability to recover from a disaster.
