 And Atchison County officials are hoping the county's new levee system prevents major flooding. Flooding in 2019 caused extensive damage to the county's levees. Since then, the structures have been rebuilt. Atchison County Emergency Management Coordinator Rhonda Wiley tells KMA News the county faces a new flooding threat from water flowing down the Missouri River. We have some water that is up to the levees now, and we have new levees.
