Topeka ? Disaster plans for the state and its largest city received only mixed grades from a federal report Friday, but officials in Kansas said there are reasons to question the assessment’s accuracy.

The grades from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security suggested that neither the state nor Wichita are prepared to care for masses of refugees displaced from their homes by a catastrophic event. Their plans also were deemed only partially sufficient in eight of 10 categories.

However, the state Division of Emergency Management is close to finishing a new disaster plan to be reviewed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and sent to county officials. Their exercises will determine whether further modifications are necessary, said Danny Hay, the division’s operations branch chief.

The state’s only “sufficient” rating came in its ability to disseminate accurate and timely information to a community facing or hit by a disaster. Wichita received the same rating only for its basic disaster plan.

Both received “partially sufficient scores” for their ability to analyze emergencies and coordinate responses; their communications systems; their ability to warn officials and the public of potential hazards; their ability to move people from an unsafe area; plans for mobilizing medical services; plans for managing resources; and the overall feasibility of their plans.

The state’s basic plan was deemed partially sufficient, as was Sedgwick County’s ability to disseminate information.

Spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said Sebelius has yet to review the federal report, but noted the state’s effort to rewrite its plan. “Our emergency management folks are continually reviewing Kansas efforts and looking for ways to improve preparedness and response,” she said.
