Ricketts gives flood update

LINCOLN - Gov. Pete Ricketts and State leaders held a briefing at the State Capitol Monday to provide an update on Nebraska’s recovery from the 2019 floods.

This week marks one year since blizzards and rainstorms caused flooding across the state in March 2019.

The Governor and several agency directors also spoke about the State’s disaster preparedness efforts. While Nebraska was drier than normal last month in February, there remains a risk of flooding should Nebraska experience heavy precipitation this spring.
