Summary

Howard County EMA presented a hazardous materials commodity flow study contract for review and the board took the sheriff's web comment moderation policy under advisement for later review.

Wilson of the county's emergency management office presented a contract for a hazardous materials commodity flow study, explaining the study will analyze types, quantities and routes of hazardous materials that move through the county so EMA can plan emergency response.
