Governors from Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri signed an agreement Saturday to fight flooding along the Missouri River. The new agreement allows each state to study areas to improve flood recovery and flood control. All of the states will work together to create long-lasting infrastructure. The proclamation also calls for more state leadership in guiding Washington's management of the Missouri River. Governor Ricketts issued this statement: "Ten months after flooding began, our states are still working to recover and rebuild because of the historic scale of the natural disaster. Moving forward, we want to see people and communities put first when managing the Missouri River. Thank you Governor Kelly, Governor Parson and Governor Reynolds for your collaboration, and I look forward to working together to implement solutions that keep our communities safe." The new agreement comes after Governor Ricketts met with Governor Parson and Governor Reynolds last April. KETV Newswatch 7 was there. You can check out that story here.
