Missouri Governor Mike Parson has declared a state of emergency in Missouri due to worsening conditions along the Missouri and Mississippi River systems. Governor Parson also activated the Missouri State Emergency Operations Plan, which allows state agencies to coordinate directly with local jurisdictions. Parson visited with local officials in Atchison and Holt counties in Rock Port yesterday afternoon and with Buchanan County officials at Rosecrans Air National Guard Base yesterday afternoon.
Ongoing sandbagging efforts yesterday in Holt County include a water treatment plant in Forest City. A Red Cross shelter in Mound City is currently housing 12 people forced from their homes by flooding. The Department of Health and Senior Services has supplied tetanus shots to Atchison and Holt counties and is working to fulfill a request from Buchanan County.
