Public safety officials are charged with the next steps in flood preparedness for the City of Humboldt.

Humboldt City Administrator, Cole Bockelmann, stated that the Water Treatment Plant is safe.

While many people are offering to help, please do not self-dispatch as it may interfere with existing evacuation efforts. If you would like to volunteer, you can contact the Humboldt County Emergency Management Agency at (515) 332-4809.

If you are going to self-evacuate, please verbalize with family and friends when you are leaving and where you are going. Additionally, leave a note for first responders with the names of people leaving, when you left, and where you are going.

MidAmerican has been in contact with residents living in the flood plane with the requirement of shutting off gas, and if necessary electrical to those areas.

If you are trapped and cannot evacuate, get to a higher level and call 9-1-1 immediately with your name and location.

County and City Law Enforcement asks that you stay out of flooded areas and certainly do not drive across roads as they may have been washed away. Also, stay out of flooded areas if you are not part of the designated evacuation team.

County Officials have bags and sand, however volunteers are needed to help sandbag at the Secondary Shed on Highway 3 east across from KC Nielsen in Humboldt/Dakota City.

Businesses affected by the flood are to contact Alissa O’Connor with the Humboldt County Development Association at (515) 332-2557.

KHBT 97.7 The Bolt will share any new information as soon as it is available.
