up and prevent fur<strong>the</strong>r damages.<br />

Coordinate with NASCAR to develop<br />

a formal emergency response plan<br />

for <strong>the</strong> Kansas Speedway…including<br />

tornado sheltering. Spring event at<br />

<strong>the</strong> Kansas Speedway resulted in<br />

tornado warning requiring sheltering<br />

in place. No written plan for tornado<br />

response exists. Establish a working<br />

group to discuss and develop a<br />

written tornado response and<br />

sheltering in place plan.<br />

Continue Participation in <strong>the</strong><br />

Community Emergency Response<br />

Team (CERT) program by recruiting,<br />

training, equipping and fielding<br />

CERT Teams. Emergency services<br />

personnel may not be available to<br />

help for up to 72+ hours following a<br />

disaster due to <strong>the</strong> size of <strong>the</strong> area<br />

affected lost communications and<br />

impassable roads. Since help may<br />

not be immediately available<br />

following a disaster; it is imperative<br />

that individuals be trained and<br />

equipped to help <strong>the</strong>mselves,<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir families and <strong>the</strong>ir neighbors.<br />

• Most citizens know very little about<br />

<strong>the</strong> basic skills needed to help<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves and o<strong>the</strong>rs in a disaster<br />

when emergency services are not<br />

available. Continue recruiting,<br />

training, equipping and fielding<br />

personnel as members of <strong>the</strong><br />

Community Emergency Response<br />

Teams (CERT). Provide on-going<br />

training, exercises and events for<br />

CERT members to help <strong>the</strong>m<br />

maintain <strong>the</strong>ir proficiencies.<br />

Construction of a boat ramp to <strong>the</strong><br />

Kansas River near <strong>the</strong> I-435 Bridge.<br />

Currently, <strong>the</strong>re is only one boat<br />

ramp accessing <strong>the</strong> Kansas River<br />

and it’s located at KAW Point near<br />

<strong>the</strong> confluence of <strong>the</strong> Kansas and<br />

Missouri Rivers. Time is always of<br />

<strong>the</strong> essence during an emergency<br />

and especially on <strong>the</strong> river it could<br />

very well become <strong>the</strong> meaning<br />

between life and death. Joint use of<br />

<strong>the</strong> boat ramp is needed by KDOT,<br />

local law enforcement and fire<br />
