Public turnout impressive

Many thanks for all who helped host last week’s flood map meetings in Sawyer, Burlington and Minot. About a thousand households were able to get a better understanding of their flood risk and learn how upcoming map changes could affect them. Agents, realtors and lenders were also able to get training that will enable them to better serve their customers.

Not only was the public turnout impressive, but the support from Sawyer, Burlington, Minot, Ward County, and the State Water Commission was outstanding. FEMA appreciates your support.

We know that the more informed residents and businesses are, the better they are able to make decisions about how to manage their risk, including smart rebuilding measures and obtaining flood insurance.

FEMA Region 8 values the partnership we enjoy with North Dakota communities. Working together, let’s continue to build stronger and safer communities that are good places to live and raise a family.
