Building resilience, driving wiser development, and managing water resources
In June 2011, the Souris River exceeded the 500-year flood elevation, causing 4,100 flooded properties, 3,100 destroyed homes, and over 12,000 displaced residents, totaling over $600 million in loss and damage. City and community leaders knew their plans to recover and avoid future impacts needed to go well beyond traditional methods of fighting floods. We worked with Minot to create long-lasting changes throughout the city to prevent the impacts of flooding from recurring in the future.
Holding over 60 public collaboration meetings
Citizens up and down the Souris River basin had their voices heard as part of this effort.
