City commended for flooding response |
By Byron Higgin, Mascot Publisher
“I commend you on what you did. Everyone was proactive. Everyone did a good job and that makes all the difference in the world,” said Tammy VanOverbeke (right), Lyon County Emergency Management Director.
The Minneota City Council held a debriefing Monday night to review emergency management procedures in the wake of the flooding emergency two weeks ago.
VanOverbeke said, “In a letter to President Obama, Governor Tim Pawlenty requested a federal disaster declaration for the State of Minnesota as a result of flooding caused by severe storms that began on September 22 in southern Minnesota. Preliminary assessments indicate a total of $64.1 million in damage, $44.9 million of which was to public infrastructure.”
