I am honored to testify on behalf of Kansas as the Adjutant General and Director of Kansas Division of Emergency Management and Kansas Homeland Security. MITIGATION EFFORTS IN KANSAS A 2018 study by the National Institute of Building Sciences1 found that mitigation can save $6 in future disaster cost for every $1 spent. Kansas saves more money, on average, than any other state using federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance, as reported by a recent Pew Charitable Trusts study2. The data analysis showed that Kansas avoided $6.81 in potential disaster recovery costs for every $1 spent. This return on investment is attributed to the emphasis placed on reducing impacts from the two greatest hazards in Kansas: flooding and windstorms. With limited resources to contribute to disaster loss reduction, Kansas invests predominately in the mitigation of flooding and windstorms. To date, Kansas has implemented approximately $220 million in mitigation projects, netting an estimated $1.5 billion in disaster cost avoidance. Over the past two decades, Kansas has experienced 37 federally declared presidential disasters with over 90% of them consisting of windstorm damages.

  • Internal Investigation of Kansas Guard Pinpoints ‘Toxic’ Leadership by Tim Carpenter Posted Jan 7, 2017 at 4:30 PM Kansas National Guard Lt
    Internal investigation of Kansas Guard pinpoints ‘toxic’ leadership By Tim Carpenter Posted Jan 7, 2017 at 4:30 PM Kansas National Guard Lt. Col. Barry Thomas spoke of black soldiers under his command with a harshness perceived by investigators to inflame racial tension. The white officer, who led the Kansas Army Guard’s recruiting battalion among other assignments in a career spanning more than 25 years, told a soldier, “I thought I would never meet a black man that did not like watermelon.” On a separate occasion, according to investigation documents obtained by The Topeka Capital-Journal, Thomas said he believed African-American men universally favored oral sex. Investigators reported he referred to a black sergeant major as a “tongue-chewing retard” who dressed like a “pimp.” He questioned why a black soldier would possess a home more valuable than his own. A multifaceted internal inquiry by Kansas military officers into alleged malfeasance within the Kansas National Guard found that Thomas held “little regard for soldiers under his care” and led to a recommendation he forfeit a chance for promotion. Thomas was elevated to colonel despite violating a zero-tolerance Kansas Guard order against bullying subordinates. He still holds a leadership position among 7,500 Kansas Guard employees who serve in combat, respond to Kansas disasters and perform humanitarian missions. Kansas Army Guard Lt. Col. Scott Henry, based on more than 2,000 pages of material compiled in his investigation, concluded Thomas and four other Kansas Guard members warranted dismissal from military service, demotion in rank or relief from assigned duties.
