Gov. Mark Dayton, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Rep. Collin Peterson visited the Moorhead area, April 9, as the city braced for the Red River to crest. They toured two towns to view flood preparations and discuss state flood aid with local officials. At the direction of the governor's executive order, 200 members of the Minnesota National Guard have been activated for flood duty in western Minnesota. Guard members are conducting levee patrols, monitoring water pumps and securing road blocks in the communities of Moorhead, Oakport and Georgetown, Minn.
