Additionally, buses from Wyandotte County and the city's Tiblow Transit program could be used
to either bus in needed supplies and equipment or evacuate survivors, Helin said.
While a big part of preparing to survive a disaster centers around the readiness of emergency
crews, a major component of plans begin with residents and their families, Helin and Haley said.
The city has a resource designed to help families and individuals create their personal plans.
Located inside city hall and at the Bonner Springs City Library is the Emergency Preparedness
Informational Brochures, a two-inch thick three ring notebook full of information to help
families plan for disaster. Helin said city employees will be happy to let residents review the
notebook and make copies of the information it contains.
"It is all good information that we try to make available to every citizen so that they can prepare
themselves," Helin said. Much of that information would be useful to families in all types of
emergencies, from a large-scale disaster to a temporary power outage or family crisis, Helin
said. For those reasons, every family should review such a plan, Haley added.
"Any time is a good time to review that plan and if you don't have one now would be the time to
make one," the police chief said. "It doesn't have to take that long but it is certainly worthwhile."
