With the catastrophic flooding in Texas as a backdrop, Saline County Emergency Management Director Michelle Weis joined in on the KSAL Morning News Extra with a look at how authorities are revisiting flash flood preparedness.

Weis expressed that after Hurricane Katrina, agencies focused on issues and response, but she believes the deadly events in Texas could bring a shift.

Weis believes area businesses need to take the lead in preparing for the worst case scenario.

 

Weis says coming up in September, her team will host a business continuity workshop.
