built by the County. Kansas was the
highest rated state for the number
of tornadoes in 2008 at 168. In
addition, the area is often battered
by high wind events that cause
extensive damage. The County has
plans to review the concept of
adding a tornado refuge built to
FEMA standards in all new
construction because of this issue.
Johnson County government will
review all future building plans and
review the ability to add a safe room
for citizens and employees in
buildings such as libraries, public
safety buildings, general use
buildings and other buildings as
appropriate. They will seek federal
funding to assist with the building of
the safe room.

preparedness, response, & recovery

identified hazards that the public

County will give public

resources, multimedia, and print
publications. The County will work
with all citizens and businesses to
help them understand the hazards
and how to prepare themselves as
well as how to mitigate hazards if
possible
