Over a 1.5 million sandbags have been sent to places that need them to handle flooding over the next couple months., while Cox reminded state employees that they can use time at work to help fill those sandbags. The state is monitoring all areas and supporting local agencies, the governor said. Other state officials add that it's important to be safe around flood water because it's not known what debris is flowing in it.“If we can do that, keep it in the 60s, maybe hit 70 once in a while, but bounce back down, we’re going to be okay for the next few months.
State agencies also don't expect a repeat of the '83 flooding because the didn't have a record water year prior like in 1982. Also, there have been improvements to infrastructure and the addition of more reservoirs.
