Staying Afloat
Missouri River Relief is supported by a mix of generous donations from individuals, businesses and government agencies.

Great Clean-up in Siouxland!
Thanks to a huge effort by many community groups, we had a great clean-up in the tri-state Siouxland area. Over 80 volunteers removed 2.4 tons of junk from the banks of the Missouri River!
Special thanks to major sponsor Cargill as well as coordinator Sally Reinert from Keep Northeast Nebraska Beautiful.

Public Comment meetings on MRAPS scheduled
The process of the Missouri River Authorized Purposes Study (MRAPS) is entering its next phase, the public scoping process. There will be 30 public comment open-house meetings throughout the basin, and 11 tribal meetings. Click here for a list of scheduled open-house meetings»
This is the first time since the 1944 passage of the Pick/Sloan Flood Control Act that the authorized purposes of the management of the Missouri River have been revisited. It's important that citizens, tribes, businesses and other stakeholders in the basin submit their comments to the process.
