When disaster hits, the command center for Sedgwick County’s Emergency Management Department becomes the hub for first responder’s response coordination. However there is a problem. While there’s room inside for staff, the department doesn’t really have the space to store their supplies and equipment. Sedgwick County Assistant Manager Rusty Leeds explains, “as we went through the pandemic, and then more recently, we had a tornado and then looking back over the past few years, several years actually, emergency management has not had adequate space to maintain supplies for disaster preparedness and response.”
