Carroll County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Preparing a planning document of this size and scope takes a considerable amount of effort and time. Unlike some other kinds of planning efforts, this is the first time that Carroll County and the participating municipalities and townships had prepared a Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. This Plan should be a useful resource for current and future residents who are interested in the impacts caused by severe weather in Carroll County. Information from various government sources has been supplemented by photographs and weather data from personal collections. The Carroll County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Planning Committee included residents who live throughout the County. Their knowledge of the devastation caused by severe weather coupled with their commitment to protecting the lives, property, and welfare of Carroll County residents resulted in this Plan. Leroy Getz is a crop and weather reporter who lives on his farm located between Mount Carroll and Savanna. He began recording rainfall totals approximately 30 years ago and his interest expanded to include gathering information about other types of weather events for the Carroll County Farm Bureau. Leroy is a fourth generation dairy farmer whose children help him maintain their Centennial Farm.
