The NDSU Extension Service has information at www.ag.ndsu.edu/flood to help you prepare your farm, ranch or home for a flood and deal with the aftermath of flooding.

"This flood information Web page provides up-to-date, research-based information for homeowners, farmers, ranchers and anyone else who wants help in protecting themselves, their families and their property," says Ken Hellevang, NDSU Extension agricultural engineer and flood expert.

The site also has resources in other languages and links to information from other universities and organizations, such as the Extension Disaster Education Network, eXtension, National Weather Service, American Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
