Flood Risk Management: Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area

The Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area is a major health, education, cultural and commercial center. The area is prone to flooding. The Red River of the North has exceeded the National Weather Service flood stage of 18 feet in 60 of the past 122 years (1902 through 2024), with seven of the top 10 floods occurring in the last 30 years. Although emergency flood fights have been very successful, the area has a significant risk of catastrophic flooding.

Flood Risk Management: Minnesota Silver Jackets Team

Silver Jackets teams are collaborative, state-led, interagency teams that are continuously working together to reduce flood risk at the state level. Through the Silver Jackets program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and additional federal, state, and sometimes local and tribal agencies provide a unified approach to addressing a state’s flood risk priorities. Often, no single agency has the complete solution, but each may have one or more pieces to contribute. Silver Jackets team activities and projects occur throughout Minnesota.

Section 408: Souris (Mouse) River Basin, North Dakota

Following the 2011 flood of record event, North Dakota developed a preliminary engineering report that evaluated alternatives to mitigate flood risks throughout the Souris (Mouse) River Basin. The report recommended a flood risk management project that would provide protection up to the 2011 flood of record levels, or approximately 27,400 cubic feet per second.

Souris River Basin, North Dakota

In the mid-1970s, a series of major flood events occurred in North Dakota. To protect communities, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed a series of emergency levees under Public Law 84-99. These levees were later incorporated into a federal project. Since then, the emergency levees have undergone limited maintenance and experienced structural encroachments; however, these levees remain the primary line of defense for major flood events. While the emergency levees have provided some protection against major flood events, a permanent solution is needed to reduce the flood risk to critical North Dakota communities.
