Warren County residents are invited to attend public meetings later this week to discuss plans to prepare for natural disasters.
The meetings are part of the process for the county to create its “hazard mitigation” plan.
Municipalities are required to put together plans detailing how they will respond to disasters such as floods, earthquakes, fires and other disasters. Transportation of hazardous materials is being included in the new plan as well.
Public meetings on the plan will be held Thursday at 6 p.m. in Crandall Public Library and Jan. 13 at 6 p.m. in the state Department of Environmental Conservation office on Golf Course Road in Warrensburg.
