Warning Sirens Plan for the county,
including consideration of the
unique geographical locations,
technical requirements, system
types and operational procedures of
each local jurisdiction. The plans
should include a review of existing
outdoor warning siren coverage and
recommend new locations if and
where there are coverage gaps.
Seek funding to install new warning
sirens in accordance with the plan
recommendations. Some
communities and rural areas of the
county have older warning systems
or none at all. To better serve the
citizens of Leavenworth County, a
study should be conducted to
evaluate measures to be taken to
improve overall emergency warning
services.

Addressed
1 Develop a program to acquire and
preserve parcels of land subject to
repetitive flooding from willing and
voluntary property owners. Land
acquisition is an effective
mitigation technique to
permanently eliminate the
potential for damages from future
flood events. Leavenworth County
can apply for grant funding to
acquire flood-prone parcels of
land from voluntary and willing
property owners.
2 Regularly calculate and document
the amount of flood prone property
that is preserved as open space to
reduce flood insurance burden to
the county. CRS credit is given for
areas that are permanently
preserved as open space.
