The Red River Basin Commission received a Legislative Mandate to develop Long Term Flood Solutions (LTFS). The RRBC is gathering information from entities in the Red River Basin on the recent and past flood issues. This information will assist in the development of a regional flood damage reduction strategy. The Minnesota and North Dakota legislatures recently each appropriated $500,000 to the Red River Basin Commission to develop, in consultation and cooperation with boards and commissions involved in water management and flood prevention and control in the Red River Basin, a recommendation for a plan of action to address, mitigate, and respond to flooding issues in the Red River watershed. A draft report will be ready in January, 2010.
