By Joyce Wiese Tama county supervisors Larry Vest, Kendall Jordan and Dan Anderson met with EMA (Emergency Management Director) Mindy Benson Monday morning. Benson presented a book on Hazard Mitigation Plans including all the Federal Rules. The book contains more than four hundred pages. Supervisors will read through the book this week and it will be back on the agenda next week for approval or disapproval. Benson said she had visited with all Tama County towns and school districts. Gladbrook-Reinbeck and North Benton school districts are not included as the schools are not in Tama County. The plan covers emergencies such as tornadoes, blizzards, floods, hot and cold conditions, etc.. Benson stated she felt the book was well planned and told supervisors she would like for their approval next week. Mary Hamilton, Traer, was appointed to the Veteran’s Affairs Commission to replace Harold Vorba from Traer. Hamilton will complete Vorba’s term.
