UND to hold flood preparedness forums Tuesday, Wednesday


The University of North Dakota and the City of Grand Forks are basically in good shape as the Red River Valley braces for flooding. Despite the protections in place, the challenges facing Fargo and the memories of 1997 have some persons concerned.

The University will hold three forums to discuss UND's flood preparedness efforts. All members of the UND community are encouraged to attend one of the sessions:

* Tuesday, March 24: 2 p.m., Memorial Union Lecture Bowl
* Wednesday, March 25: 9 a.m., Clifford Hall Room 210
* Wednesday, March 25: 2 p.m., Gamble Hall Room 1

UND Facilities and Safety Office representatives will discuss the flood protections currently in place for Grand Forks and specifically for UND. They will also discuss scenarios and their possible effects on UND operations, and they will provide information on personal flood preparedness.
