More than 40 locations on rivers, creeks or streams in Iowa, eastern Nebraska, southeastern South Dakota, southwestern Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois experienced major flooding. Most of these rivers will continue to rise as snowmelt makes it into riverways, including the Mississippi and Missouri watersheds. Ice jams will also cause flooding as melting ice on some rivers is breaking up and later jamming downstream.
Last year nearly 372,000 individuals volunteered their time for the Red Cross. Are you looking for a way to make a difference? Become a Red Cross volunteer – there are lots of ways you can help. To find out more, including how to apply, visit the ‘Volunteer’ information on redcross.org.
