Hello there, Ladies and gentlemen and happy Saturday. Thank you very much for spending your weekend right here with us at K N. C. Why? Where as of now, we do plan to keep you properly informed. The route your weekend via the cake N. C Y. News The prolonged flooding of the Missouri River is having significant impact on businesses in Nebraska and all along the waterway. A survey finds more than half of the manufacturers in six western Iowa counties air dealing with major challenges related to the flooding. The company's responded to a survey compiled by Ruth Wilcox, an engineer with the Iowa State University Extension. We contacted approximately 200 manufacturers and had about a 60% response rate to the questions, and 63% of those responded reported that they were affected by flooding. The companies are located in the Presidential Disaster Declaration area that includes Fremont, Harrison Mills, Madona, Pottawatomie and Woodbury counties. In Iowa, the primary issue is transportation logistics. As roads and bridges in the area have been closed for a couple of months, there may be delays in getting their supplies, and there may be some delays on increase defenses and getting their products to third. The U. S Army Corps of Engineers is beginning to reduce the amount of water being released from reservoirs into the Missouri River, but the floodwaters could remain in place through early October. Many of the businesses are also reporting workforce challenges as employees are taking time off to deal with their own flooded homes something that always is how much manufacturers in Iowa care about their work for. And the majority are concerned about the stress that their work for having to go through. Some eastern Nebraska school districts are adjusting to changes in enrollment after families from western Iowa were forced to relocate because of flooding. J. Lud is the superintendent for the Farragut and Hamburg, Iowa, School District's. He says some parents who lived in Hamburg but worked across the river in Nebraska City have relocated their families in Nebraska, at least temporarily. I know there's some some people that are trying to move back in the mandatory evacuation has been lifted and so we have families that are are moving back and some that it is still going to take, you know, months or so to get moved back or in the housing, so it is very fluctuating. The superintendent estimates about 15 students have been lost due to the flood related moves. Mike Eldridge is the junior senior high school principal for the Sydney, Iowa, Community School District. Several families in the town of Personal were forced to relocate some across the river to Nebraska as well. He estimates five or 10 students have left, but he says those numbers aren't having any major impact. For now. We've got a lot of new students move into the district, not because of the flooding, but we looked like we may kind of stay level in regards to enrollment where we're not gonna show a huge decrease, and we're not going to show a big increase. A spokeswoman for the Council Bluffs School district says she's not aware of any families leaving the district because the floods. But at least 35 students have reported a different home address because of the moves. The district is hoping to transport 13 of those students to school in Council bluffs from their temporary housing locations. Recently, I spoke with Mr Greg Goebel, who is the director for the Oto County Emergency Management Agency, he didn't want to put out information in regards to the disaster declaration requested by Governor Heineman, approved by President Obama on August 12 2011 Governor Dave Heineman requested and was granted a presidential disaster declaration for affected counties in the state of Nebraska.
