The Kansas Republican was joined in hosting the forum by U.S. Congressman Steve Watkins, with representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in attendance.
Prior to the forum, Roberts toured the White Cloud area where he viewed first hand the impact of the flooding. The tour included a stop at Taylor Seed Farm where local farmer Jason Taylor provided a look at a levee break.

Roberts, in the post, said the view from White Cloud’s Four State Lookout allowed him to see how widespread flooding is in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa.
