(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners have approved a Declaration of Disaster for flood damages that have occurred during the summer and fall of 2018.
In addition, a “State of Emergency” has been declared.
Higher than normal flows into the Missouri River from upstream dams coupled with rain and melting snow have flooded farmland in Richardson County and caused issues in Rulo.
Emergency Management Director Brian Kirkendall provided information on damages occurring within the Village of Rulo and requested the County Board approve the disaster declaration.
