National Guard Troops Withdrawing From Dakota Co.

Posted: Updated:

The Corps' plan is to reduce the release rate at Gavins Point dam on July 30th, the release rate of 160,000 CFS will continue until then.

The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency is withdrawing Nebraska National Guard units from Dakota, Douglas, Sarpy , Nemaha and Cass counties effective on the evening of July 31.  South Sioux City and Dakota County officials are developing a plan for levee monitoring after the Guard leaves. 

 As waters recede and residents are able to get back into homes and other structures they should be cautious of the sediment left behind because it could be unsafe.  Electrical power consumers should always assume that power lines are energized.  If residents have any questions they should contact their power supplier.  If they have questions about natural gas they should contact MidAmerican Energy.
