Natrona County anchored by Casper is Wyoming's second largest city and the regional hub for central Wyoming. The North Platte River creates flooding risk and the county experiences extreme winter storm conditions. Casper Mountain south of the city creates complex weather patterns that can intensify severe weather events. The county's oil and gas industry creates industrial emergency planning considerations. Casper has experienced tornado events despite its high elevation location.
