Emergency management coordinator outlines three hazard-mitigation plans

David Volk, Leet Township’s Emergency Management Coordinator, told the Board he and Commissioner Donna Adipietro submitted three hazard mitigation plans to Allegheny County aimed at improving local flood response and evacuation options. He said the first plan would create a written protocol to trigger coordinated action by the fire, police, and public works departments when the National Weather Service issues flood reports and local creek gauges show rising levels.
