RAPID CITY (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey is keeping one eye on potential flooding in South Dakota this spring and another on the potential shutdown of the federal government.
The Geological Survey maintains a network of river and stream gauges that serve as an early flood warning for communities and emergency managers
Mark Anderson is with the USGS in Rapid City. He tells South Dakota Public Broadcasting that the agency is developing a contingency plan and will try to keep the gauges operational in case there’s a government shutdown caused by congressional disagreement on budget cuts.
