PERSONAL PROFILES

Johnson County takes emergency preparedness seriously.  Johnson County actively plans, trains, and exercises on a variety of topics to ensure professional response is at its peak.  Likewise, local citizens are strongly encouraged to personally prepare for disasters to help make Johnson County -- A Community Prepared.  But ultimately, Johnson County's employees and volunteers are the backbone of this process.  Each month, a member of the Johnson County Emergency Preparedness community will be highlighted to prove how ready we are becoming for emergencies and disasters.
