In Minnesota, the Minnesota River remains below flood stage at all points. Devils Lake is slowly rising approximately one inch per day and has exceeded the record of 1441 feet by .41 feet. The population affected is about 235. Emergency protection for lift stations continues and is almost 90 percent complete. To date there have been 35,105 utility inspections completed for the reconnection of gas and power services.
Work continues on travel trailer sites in Grand Forks.
The rest is for administrative costs. There are now 25 PA inspection teams conducting assessments in 26 counties. To help expedite the inspection process, an additional 10 teams are expected to arrive at the Disaster Field Office today. Contact has been made with all local officials to inform them the CR presence is diminishing. All shelters have closed in Minnesota and the American Red Cross has closed all service centers in the state.
