Nebraska Governor declares state of emergency for all counties along the Missouri River due to forecasted flooding.

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has declared a state of emergency for all counties along the Missouri River due to forecasted flooding. Heavy rains last week caused severe flooding in NE Nebraska and NW Iowa. The governors of both states have urged residents to avoid the Missouri River for safety reasons, as high water flow and debris pose significant risks. The declaration grants authority to the state's Adjutant General to activate resources, including the Nebraska National Guard, if necessary.
