FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

City of Moscow Prepares for Potential Flood

 

Moscow, Idaho, February 8, 2008 - Due to recent significant snow
accumulation and historic patterns of warmer weather and rain after
winter storms, the City of Moscow is preparing for a potential flood
event.  To aid Moscow's residents in personal preparations sand and sand
bags are now available at no charge at the City of Moscow Street Shop.
As the City is supplying the materials citizens are asked to fill the
bags they need.  For sand please visit the Street Shop at 650 N. Van
Buren Street; for more information please call (208) 882-7550.

 

The City also advises residents and business owners to review snow
accumulation on their property and to clear snow from any catch basins
or yard drains to allow melt water access to the storm drainage system.
If you have an area of concern where plowed snow may be blocking a storm
drain, please report the location by calling 882-COPS.   

 

City officials are monitoring current conditions and weather projections
for circumstances which could potentially result in flooding.   If a
citizen sees indications of flooding they should report their concerns
to 882-COPS.
