Brazos County Looking Again For An Emergency Management Coordinator As A Drought Declaration Is Issued

For the second time this year, Brazos County is looking for an emergency management coordinator. That’s after the resignation of Shannon Covey after one month on the job. Covey was selected among 43 candidates and four finalists. This week’s county commission meeting agenda (October 15) included a discussion in private about the position. A county spokesman told WTAW News that they anticipate action next week to name an interim coordinator. On Thursday (October 17), county judge Duane Peters issued a drought declaration.

Deputy emergency management coordinator Jason Ware told WTAW News this is a pre-emptive, proactive move should the drought results in agriculture losses or wildfires that are attributed to the drought. Ware says the declaration opens the door to apply for state and/or federal assistance due to events caused by the drought.
