Richland County Emergency Declaration



Wahpeton, ND (KBMW News)  -- The Richland County Commission has taken an early step in preparation for a possible spring flood.

At the commission meeting on Tuesday morning, the board passed a county emergency declaration.  That allows for the county to immediately begin mitigation measures, preparedness actions, and other responses to protect public health and safety during a flooding situation, if action becomes necessary.

In other business, the board authorized entering into a user agreement for Code Red Service.  Code Red is an early notification system that will replace the reverse 911 system.

The board also determined a price to offer landowners to purchase the necessary right of way for a bridge project over the Wild Rice River on County Highway #4.  The board also approved a resolution of surveying and a resolution of necessity for the bridge project.
