Mo-Kan Regional Council (Mo-Kan) is an economic and community development organization serving county and municipal governments in four Missouri counties and two Kansas counties: Andrew, Buchanan, Clinton, and DeKalb counties in Missouri; Atchison and Doniphan counties in Kansas.
In 2011, two-thirds of the Mo-Kan region was impacted by the Missouri River flooding. These areas included Andrew and Buchanan counties in Missouri; Atchison and Doniphan counties in Kansas.
On June 20, 2012, Mo-Kan was awarded $150,000 from Economic Development Administration (EDA) for the purpose of completing a Regional Disaster Recovery Plan. The intent of this document is to assess losses; diagnose needs and provide disaster recovery assistance to local governments, communities and businesses in their efforts to recover from the flooding of the Missouri River in 2011, as well as other potential future natural disasters.
