Grand Forks - East Grand Forks Urban Water Resources Study. East Grand Forks Flood Fight Manual.
Abstract
The goal of the Corps of Engineers Urban Study Program is to provide planning assistance to local interests in a variety of water resource areas, some not within traditional Corps areas of responsibility. The St. Paul District conducted the Grand Forks-East Forks (GF/EGF) Urban Water Resources Study which was a cooperative effort among local, state and federal agencies. Primary attention was given to flood control, water supply and wastewater management; supporting investigations addressed recreation and energy conservation. The East Grand Forks flood fight plan was developed by the city's Civil Defense Director and city engineer under contract with the St. Paul District. City personnel and citizens who led the flood fight efforts in 1978 and 1979 spring floods contributed their experiences and suggestions. Flood emergency plans were developed jointly with Grand Forks, North Dakota and East Grand Forks, Minnesota, to improve their flood fight preparedness and effectiveness. Manuals, narrated slide programs and pamphlets were developed which covered: flood fight organizations and headquarters, responsibilities of local, state and federal agencies, preflood, flood fight and postflood operations, emergency evacuation plans, and citizen self-help measures.
