Gov. Kristi Noem declares disaster in 10 SD counties soaked by spring flooding
Gov. Kristi Noem has issued a disaster declaration in northeastern and east-central South Dakota counties impacted by springtime flooding. Noem signed an executive order Friday to declare a disaster in Brown, Clark, Codington, Day, Faulk, Grant, Hand, Marshall, Potter and Roberts counties, as well as the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation. Rapid snowmelt led to moderate and major flooding in the impacted areas between April 9 and May 5.
