the county’s emergency response
services to identify any existing
needs or shortfalls in terms of
personnel, equipment or required
resources. A survey should be
completed in order to verify the
county’s current emergency
services are adequate to protect
public health and safety from
most probable hazard events. Any
identified needs or shortfalls
should become documented and
result in specific recommendations
to the County Commission for
emergency service
enhancements.
10 Research, develop, and
recommend an
ordinance/resolution to require
installation of tornado shelters for
major manufactured and/or mobile
home parks with more than 10
mobile home spaces. Mobile
homes are particularly vulnerable
to damage from high winds.
Residents, even those who live in
mobile homes with tie-downs,
should seek safe shelter when a
tornado threatens. Tornado
shelters should be constructed in
major mobile home parks to
ensure a safe place for residents
to go during a tornado event. The
shelter structure, which should be
designed to withstand a minimum
of 120mph winds, could easily
serve an alternate purpose such
as a community center, laundry
facility, etc. Tornado shelters
should be for last minute
protection for high wind events.
11 Evaluate the firefighting water
supply resources within the
County. This should include both
fixed and mobile supply issues.
Lack of sufficient water supply
makes it difficult for firefighters to
suppress fires. Whenever
possible, increasing access to
water along water service delivery
lines (wet and dry hydrants) would
provide additional resources for
