The City of Bridgeport is working with other agencies and volunteers to fill sand bags in anticipation of potentially heavy rain tonight. These sand bags will be used to help business owners keep water out of their front doors due to high levels of water and poor storm drainage in those areas. These sand bags are NOT being filled due to high river levels. Flooding is not forecast on the North Platte River at this time. Bridgeport, Morrill County, and Region 21 Emenergeny Managemet officials are continuously monitoring the forecast. A Flood Watch is in effect until Friday afternoon. This watch was issued due to high water levels, and anticipated increases in the water levels. Heavy rain may cause some flooding concerns through Friday. You should continue to monitor the latest forecasts, or go online to the Emergency Management Blog on the City's website at www.cityofbport.com.
Again, although sand bags are being filled there is not a significant or forecasted flood threat on the the North Platte River at this time.
