Significant flood risk remains in areas behind the federal levee systems in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. Water is still flowing through many breaches and other non-flowing breaches and damaged levee sections are at risk for water to flow behind the levee in the event of rising river levels.

The Corps of Engineers Omaha District has completed initial damage assessments of the 54 levee segments/systems that were damaged during the Spring of 2019 high water events. This damage encompassed the Missouri River downstream of Gavins Point Dam, in addition to the Platte, Elkhorn and other tributaries. Project Information Reports on each system have also been completed.
