8 hrs ago In his newly-appointed role, Mineral Wells Fire Chief Ryan Dunn went over the Hazard Mitigation Plan of Palo Pinto County, which is reevaluated every five years. âThe hazard mitigation plan was initially adopted in 2015, we started working on it in 2016, so itâs a consecutive thing that we keep doing over and over,â Dunn said at Tuesdayâs city council meeting. âSo basically you take all of the natural disasters that can impact this city and this county, and we take into consideration what we can do to prevent them, what we can do to aid them to leave us in better shape â for example, floodwater and a drainage system eliminates that threat. Thereâs some things you canât control, a tornado you canât control.â
