Faulkner County north of Little Rock anchored by Conway has been one of the fastest growing counties in Arkansas. The county experienced a devastating EF4 tornado in April 2014 that killed 15 people and caused widespread destruction across Vilonia and Mayflower. The Arkansas River creates flooding risk along the county's southern edge. Three universities in Conway create major institutional emergency planning requirements.
