 Floodwaters that had worked down the Missouri River after torrential rains brought devastating flooding in northwest Iowa have also been the first test for the levee system that was repaired and upgraded following the 2019 Missouri River flooding throughout much of southwest Iowa, southeast Nebraska, and northwest Missouri. Spencer Giles is the emergency management chief with the Corps Omaha District. While they have been monitoring impacts from heavy rains this week, Giles says current river forecasts do not pose any risks to the federal levee system.
