PROGRAM:
I don’t know about the rest of the members, but I didn’t know Reno County had an Emergency Management Director. Adam Weishaar holds that position, and he explained whatthe job entails. Whenever an emergency occurs in the county, he is advised, disperses information to appropriate responders, and follows up with a report to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. His office is located in the Law Enforcement Center basement and is equipped with everything he needs to keep track of what’s going on in the area. He and his family live in the Buhler area.
