The meetings are designed to help citizens with flood insurance questions, as well as how to obtain National Flood Insurance Program coverage to protect structures and contents from future flooding events.  The NWS will present the weather forecast for the next several months.

Citizens, especially those who live in flood-prone areas, are encouraged to assess their individual situations and take necessary steps to guard themselves and their property. Recent flooding across South Dakota has demonstrated again that floods can occur with little warning.

The meetings are open to the public and will provide residents and businesses an opportunity to learn more about what they can do now to prepare for any potential future flooding.
