Trempealeau County Community Preparedness

In the Fall of 2010, Trempealeau County was challenged in its preparedness as flooding occurred in many areas of the county.  The flooding was a test for all who have practiced at table top or functional exercises.  It allowed us as community members to put to use the tools we have learned and to use the incident as a training tool for improvement.   The community members of the county rose to the occasion working long hours to provide a safe environment for the individuals evacuated and/or affected by the flooding.  I would like to thank all the county residents for their participation and support during the flood challenge in  September 2010.  We all learned lessons from the flood experience and next time we will be better prepared.
