FLOOD UPDATE: FEMA administrator to be in Fargo on Monday to survey flood situation

WASHINGTON - Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be in Fargo on Monday to survey the flood situation and meet with the delegation and state and local officials.

North Dakota Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan and Rep. Earl Pomeroy have been meeting with the Corps of Engineers and FEMA officials, and state and local leaders, to ensure the federal government is doing everything needed to help local communities prepare for flooding.

Pomeroy held a series of meetings last month with local officials and delivered input from those communities to Fugate in a meeting earlier this week.
