When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Severe storms are expected this evening and into the early morning hours across Harvey County. Baseball sized hail, damaging winds up to 70 mph and a few tornadoes are possible. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive weather warnings available. (WEA alert, NOAA radio, TV/Radio warnings). Be aware, be prepared, be safe.Photos from Harvey County Emergency Management's post

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, the week to honor the thousands of 9-1-1 Dispatchers who Answer the Call. Here at Harvey County, for the past 10 years it's been my honor and privilege to oversee the best group of Telecommunicators in the business. Their dedication and professionalism is unparalleled.

Please join me this week in showing appreciation for this excellent group of men and women!
Completed our first of four scheduled fish stockings for the year today, introducing more than 1,000 pounds of catfish combined across Camp Hawk, East Park and West Park. There's more than a few heavyweights in the bunch. Fishing is free in our parks - only a Kansas fishing license is required - and the weather this weekend looks perfect, so come on by.
Many thanks to Harbin Fish Farm for providing the new stock!Photos from Harvey County Parks's post

Did you know Newton has an airport? Well we do and today the Harvey County LEPC members had the pleasure of touring this historical spot. Brian Palmer, the Director of Aviation for The Newton City-County Airport, shared with the group all the resources that this hidden gem has available should any help be needed for our citizens. Thanks for the amazing tour and letting us watch the planes come and go. It was "uplifting". 👨✈️🛩🚁Photos from Harvey County Emergency Management's post
