TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas emergency management officials are preparing for “a long and difficult” summer amid record flooding predictions along the Missouri River.
Releases from U.S. Army Corps of Engineer lakes farther north on the Missouri River could send huge volumes of water into communities and farmlands in Kansas, including parts of Fort Leavenworth, said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, director of the Kansas Division of Emergency Management.
“It’s going to be a long and difficult summer,” Tafanelli said Friday, adding that predictions were for flooding to rival levels last seen in 1993.
