Residents in several Minnesota communities are watching and waiting as rivers continue to crest at or above major flood stage following more than a week of heavy rain. Communities in the affected area have protective measures in place and continue to monitor river levels. In the meantime, Gov. Mark Dayton will convene a meeting today of the Minnesota Recovers Task Force (MRTF) to discuss programs state agencies have available to assist with the flood recovery. The MRTF includes federal, state and local agencies working together to prioritize and coordinate the disaster recovery efforts by its member agencies. It was created to provide a one-stop-shop for local governments to seek recovery assistance following a disaster. Gov. Dayton and the Executive Council will also meet today to extend the State of Emergency for 35 Minnesota counties. Executive Council action is needed to extend the emergency declaration for up to 30 days. More information: ow.ly/ympTk
