Goodhue County Commissioners Wednesday formally declared Goodhue County to be in a State of Emergency for conditions resulting from the flooding event starting on June 16th, 2024.
From Zumbrota, Cannon Falls, and Red Wing, flooding has greatly impacted the citizens of Goodhue County.
While waters have not completely subsided, the extent of damage to township roads, ditches, and culverts is likely to be substantial.
Several county roads have already sustained considerable damage, and it will take some time before a full assessment can be made as to the repairs needed.
Additional flooding could occur with the rising of the Mississippi River as well.
Coming at the request of Goodhue County Emergency Management, this declaration aids in mobilizing necessary resources and support to address the widespread damage. Additionally, the declaration facilitates a coordinated response to the flooding crisis.
If you have been impacted by flooding or have private wells, please visit goodhuecountymn.gov and take the survey for flood damage assessment or read resources to test and protect your wells.
