Progress
Summer of Hope
With the goal to "Recover the Magic!" one team of dedicated volunteers is doing all they can to assist in long term recovery efforts as a result of the 2011 Mouse River flood.
The Souris Valley Long Term Recovery Committee was established to address unmet needs that remain after FEMA, insurance, SBA, and non-profit agencies have been utilized. The committee is comprised of community leaders, non-profit agencies, and faith-based organizations.
In conjunction with the City of Minot, Ward County, and National Disaster Relief Agencies, (Faith-based and Government Sponsored), and in cooperation with the Souris Valley United Way, the LTR Committee works with case managers who assess and manage each case individually in order to maximize the efforts of all.
The mission of the Souris Valley Long Term Recovery Committee is to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual resources to provide for the unmet needs of those most vulnerable who were affected by the 2011 Mouse River flood.
