Heavy snowfall this winter is raising concerns about flooding this spring.
The NDSU Extension Service has information online at www.ag.ndsu.edu/disaster/flood.html that can help people prepare their farms, ranches and homes for a flood. It also will help with the effects of flooding.
"This flood information Web page provides up-to-date, research-based information for homeowners, farmers, ranchers and anyone else who wants help in protecting themselves, their families and their property," says Ken Hellevang, NDSU Extension agricultural engineer.
The site also has links to information from other universities and organizations such as the Extension Disaster Education Network and American Red Cross.
