KVDD 1<br />

KVDD 2<br />

Provide adequate communications<br />

& warning system(s) for Kaw Valley<br />

Drainage District (KVDD). No<br />

completely adequate<br />

communications and warning<br />

system(s) are currently available for<br />

KVDD. Effective, timely<br />

communications between KVDD<br />

personnel, first responders,<br />

emergency support personnel and<br />

<strong>the</strong> public are vital in <strong>the</strong> event of<br />

any type of emergency including<br />

flooding. Levees hold back and<br />

prevent <strong>the</strong> water from <strong>the</strong> Kansas<br />

and Missouri Rivers from damaging<br />

<strong>the</strong> homes and businesses behind<br />

<strong>the</strong>m, causing millions of dollars<br />

worth of damage from potential<br />

flooding and possible preventing<br />

<strong>the</strong> loss of lives. Provide a radio<br />

communications system for KVDD<br />

that will enable <strong>the</strong>m to maintain<br />

constant communications with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

own personnel, first responders,<br />

emergency management and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

emergency support personnel as<br />

needed both during emergencies<br />

and on a regular day-to-day basis.<br />

Provide an adequate warning<br />

system(s) for KFCC that will enable<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to quickly and properly warn<br />

personnel during impending<br />

dangers or emergencies.<br />

Place/Re-Place Riprap along <strong>the</strong><br />

slopes of <strong>the</strong> levees. Levees are<br />

subject to potential erosive forces if<br />

left unprotected or only partially<br />

protected. A portion of <strong>the</strong> KVDD<br />

levees need an additional build-up<br />

with Rock Riprap to help prevent<br />

erosion. These levees hold back<br />

and prevent <strong>the</strong> water from <strong>the</strong><br />

Kansas/Missouri Rivers from<br />

damaging <strong>the</strong> homes and<br />

businesses behind <strong>the</strong>m causing<br />

millions of dollars worth of damage<br />

from potential flooding and possible<br />

preventing <strong>the</strong> loss of lives.<br />

Place/Re-Place Rock Riprap along<br />
