In Illinois, flooding is expected to continue along the Mississippi River for several weeks until the river crests pass and river levels return below flood stage. The State EOC is fully activated and a Forward Command Post is operating in Rock Island and Hancock counties. The governor has declared a State of Emergency for 10 counties. A PDA request is expected once floodwaters have receded and the state has completed their flood damage assessments. In Wisconsin, the Mississippi River is being monitored very closely due to the projected increase in water from tributaries that empty into the Mississippi.
Projections call for up to a foot of water above last week's high.
Two ARC shelters are open in the state with no population reported. The governor has issued a State of Emergency for 11 counties. The State EOC continues to operate and a Forward Command Post is deployed to Rock Island. The river crest is expected to move through the state into early next week.
