The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District maintains a web page for emergency management response resources, which includes federal, state and local resources, available at https://www.nwo.usace.army.mil/Missions/Emergency-Management/Response-Resources/.
Weather Impact on Mission
According the National Weather Service, heavy snow, strong winds, and blizzard conditions will slowly wind down across the Upper Midwest Friday as the storm system shifts across Lake Superior and into Ontario Canada. The focus for hazardous weather then shifts south this weekend as another storm system will bring the potential for severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and flooding over the south central U.S. We will continue to provide updates regarding our emergency response activities but in the meantime, we urge everyone in the storm's projected path to take extra steps to ensure your safety. FEMA provides a number of resources to assist you and your family prepare for a disaster, available here: https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/7877.
