LEAVENWORTH COUNTY TO OFFER H1N1 VACCINATIONS FOR ANYONE OVER SIX MONTHS OLD

(LEAVENWORTH, KS – DECEMBER 18TH, 2009) Leavenworth County announces it is now offering free H1N1 flu vaccinations during regular clinic hours at the Leavenworth County Health Department located at 500 Eisenhower Road in Leavenworth. Clinic hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays.

Vaccinations will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis. There is now sufficient vaccine that any person wishing to receive the vaccination will be able to do so.

It is still especially important for individuals in these high-risk categories to receive vaccine:

  • Pregnant women
  • Persons who live with or provide regular care for infants less than six months of age (parents, siblings, daycare providers, etc.)
  • Healthcare and emergency services personnel
  • Persons six months through 24 years of age
  • Persons 25 through 64 who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications

It is also important to remember that children six months through 9 years of age will need to receive two doses of vaccine at least 28 days apart. It is not necessary to have the second dose administered at exactly 28 days but within a reasonable timeframe thereafter.

 
LEAVENWORTH COUNTY PRESENTS NEW GIS/MAPPING WEB SITE
A new web site is available at gis.leavenworthcounty.org, which allows viewers to create their own maps showing, for example:
  • Flood plane information
  • Various districts:
    • Voter
    • School
    • Fire
    • Water
    • Sewer
  • Utilities
And a host of other "layers", complete with aerial photography and parcel information.
 
FLOODPLAIN INSURANCE INFORMATION AND HELPFUL TIPS


The new floodplain maps became effective on August 18, 2009. If a building has been constructed in compliance with a specific FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map), and that FIRM gets revised, the owner is eligible to obtain a policy using the zone and base flood elevation information from the previous FIRM, provided that proof is submitted to the insurance company. If the structure is located outside of the flood hazard area, an application for LOMA OAS may be submitted to FEMA with proof.
