Selected Event Narratives<br />

FEMA-4035-DR: Flooding—September 23, 2011<br />

Four counties in Nor<strong>the</strong>ast Kansas were declared for flooding that occurred from June 1 to<br />

August 1, 2011 along <strong>the</strong> Missouri River. These Counties included Atchison, Doniphan,<br />

Leavenworth, and Wyandotte. Damages as a result of this event were estimated to be nearly<br />

$1,211,416.62 and primarily involved damages to roads and bridges.<br />

Record snowfall in <strong>the</strong> Rocky Mountains of Montana and Wyoming along with near record<br />

spring rainfall in central and eastern Montana triggered severe flooding within <strong>the</strong> Upper<br />

Missouri River Basin. According to <strong>the</strong> National Wea<strong>the</strong>r Service, in <strong>the</strong> second half of <strong>the</strong><br />

month of May 2011, almost a year’s worth of rain fell over <strong>the</strong> upper Missouri River Basin. This<br />

extremely heavy rainfall, in conjunction with an estimated 212 percent of normal snowpack in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Rocky Mountains, contributed to this flooding event.<br />

All six major dams along <strong>the</strong> Missouri River released record amounts of water to prevent<br />

overflow and devastating consequences to towns and cities along <strong>the</strong> river from Montana to<br />

Missouri.<br />
