Bemidji And Beltrami County Officials Urge Residents To Prepare For Flooding
Officials in Bemidji and Beltrami County are urging residents to prepare as rain and melting snow threatens to give way to overland flooding.
BEMIDJI, Minn. (AP) - Officials in Bemidji and Beltrami County
are urging residents to prepare as rain and melting snow threatens
to give way to overland flooding.
The city is offering a sandbagging class Saturday and selling
unfilled sandbags all next week.
The bags are going for 25 cents apiece, which helps cover the
cost of delivering sand. Residents can get the sand delivered to
their homes.
The threat of flooding is rising statewide as warm temperatures
and rainfall persist.
Last year's rapid thaw led to overland flooding that damaged six
homes in Bemidji.
