How does the flood warning system work?

The flood warning system starts with real-time monitoring of river gage data by the Papio-Missouri NRD. The river gage information is provided to the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service is responsible for issuing flood watches and warnings. Tune your weather radio to KIH-61 (162.400 MHz) to receive National Weather Service alerts. Notices are also publicized via television channels KPTM 3, WOWT 6, KETV 7, and KPTM 42.
