The Colony, KS community is mourning the tragic drowning of a juvenile on Sunday evening. The child was found in a pond after a missing report and despite emergency efforts, was pronounced dead at a hospital. The local school district is providing support to students and families during this difficult time.

President Joe Biden has approved Governor Laura Kelly's request for a federal disaster declaration for Kansas counties hit by a severe storm from April 25-30. This enables government entities and nonprofits to apply for assistance in repairing infrastructure. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is also activated statewide to reduce long-term risk from natural hazards.
