I DO WANNA RECOGNIZE THE REASON FOR THIS, UH, BEING THAT IF YOU GLANCE AT THAT TABLE UP THERE, 2024, UH, APRIL OF THAT YEAR, OUR COLLECTIONS WERE ACTUALLY UP QUITE A BIT AND THAT WAS DUE TO A LARGE VICTIM RESTITUTION PAYMENT THAT WE COLLECTED THAT MONTH.

FEMA DEDICATED TO COUNTLESS HOURS DEVELOPING PREPAREDNESS, RECOVERY RESPONSE AND MITIGATION PROGRAMS TO PROTECT OUR LIVES AND PROPERTY OF ALL PERSONS LIVING IN KAMAN COUNTY.

THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE CHARGED WITH ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING CAPABILITIES NECESSARY TO EFFECTIVELY DIRECT, COORDINATE AND SUPPORT EMERGENCY AND DISASTER RESPONSE RECOVERY EFFORTS.

THE MISSION OF AREAS AND PREVENTION, PROTECTION, AND MITIGATION RESPONSE AND RECOVERY ALIGN WITH THE CORE CAPABILITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS GOAL.

THE EMERGENCY MANAGERS SERVE AS THEIR COUNTY IS RESPONDING TO COUNTLESS EMERGENCIES, DISASTERS EACH YEAR DEMONSTRATING THE COMMITMENT, COMPASSION, AND PROFESSIONALISM, AND PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

THE EFFORTS OF OUR COUNTY MERCHANT MANAGERS HAVE HELPED HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACROSS THIS COUNTY TO RECOVER, REBUILD, AND BECOME MORE RESILIENT IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.
