Five years ago this week, the Missouri River and its tributaries throughout Nebraska and Iowa experienced massive flooding due to heavy snowfall and frigid temperatures followed by a late winter storm. It caused billions of dollars in damages to agriculture and infrastructure in communities in the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. We estimate that repair costs to levee infrastructure damaged in the lower river was approximately $1.2 billion. During the flood, the states of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska formed a four-state coalition to collectively address repetitive flooding at a regional level. Their goal was to develop actions in the aftermath of the 2019 flood to reduce system risk and recurring damages, improve system resiliency for the future and improve interagency collaboration. One action was the Lower Missouri River Basin Flood Risk and Resiliency Study. Learn more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gR_zfpHx.

"Despite histories of flooding, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) classifies Pike County and the 12 other counties that flooded two years ago as facing “low” risks in the event of a natural disaster like a flood. That’s largely because they have less to lose —financially — compared to more urbanized areas. Critics of FEMA’s risk-determination tool, called the National Risk Index, say it doesn’t include enough information about rural communities, especially when it comes to flooding, leading it to understate hazards That suggests that as the federal government cranks up spending on infrastructure, including the allocation of more than $1 billion to help reduce future flood threats, families in East Kentucky and other rural regions are at risk of missing out on projects that could help them prepare better for the next disaster."
