EMERGENCY SERVICES REVIEW

WOODBURY COUNTY'S EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE UNDER REVIEW BY COUNTY SUPERVISORS AT THEIR TUESDAY MEETING.

GARY BROWN HAS SPENT 30 YEARS MANAGING THOSE SERVICES FOR THE COUNTY, AND SAYS THERE'S A NEED FOR A FULL TIME ASSISTANT TO HELP HANDLE THE NUMBER OF PLANS AND DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR DISASTER FUNDING PREPAREDNESS.

BROWN SAYS MOST COUNTIES OUR SIZE HAVE ADDITIONAL STAFF TO HANDLE THOSE PLANS.

BROWN SAYS THE SUMMER FLOODING PROVED ONCE AGAIN HOW WELL THE TRI STATE REGION IS PREPARED TO COOPERATE AT THE CITY AND COUNTY LEVELS TO HANDLE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
