(KLZA)-- Congressional members from Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa are cosponsoring the Lower Missouri Flood Prevention Act bill.
The legislation would establish a Lower Missouri River Flood Prevention Program to improve flood prevention on the Missouri river from Sioux City, Iowa, to its confluence with the Mississippi River.
If adopted, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would be required to study, design, and construct water resources development projects and modify existing ones to provide flood protection for communities and develop a system plan for reducing flood risk and improving flood resiliency.
Nebraska Senators Deb Fischer and Ben Sasse, Missouri Senators Roy Blunt and Josh Hawley along with Kansas Senators Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran are original co-sponsors of the bill in the Senate.
