Missouri River flooding gets worse
June 1, 2011

A story in today's Omaha World-Herald describes the rising floodwaters threatening the town of Sloan, Iowa, as well as many other communities and facilities, including the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station, located about 20 miles upstream from Omaha. The worst part of the story is that the floods are going to get much worse long before they get better. The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors -- whose county includes Sloan as well as Sioux City -- have made an emergency allocation of $200,000 to help with flooding costs.

We can help you with portable dams, which work much better and faster than sandbag levees, and with sluice gates and other gates for floodwater control. Please feel free to contact us with your questions.
