The Flood Recovery Project is supported by the Corporation for National Service under a grant <br />awarded to the Minnesota Conservation Corps for Special Programs for Flood Relief. <br />The Minnesota Conservation Corps (MCC), working through the Department of Natural <br />Resources. hired young adults beginning in the spring of 1994 to help southwestern Minnesota <br />communities restore damages caused by the flood of 1993. Ten MCC crews were engaged in <br />cleanup and repair projects ranging from state park rehabilitation to assisting low income families <br />with the assessment and repair of flood damaged homes. They finished in December of 1994. <br />Working with Southwest State University, the MCC also hired college students to create a <br />comprehensive collection of historical data on the flood of 1993 in southwestern Minnesota. <br />The flood historians are a group of five Southwest State University students working to gather <br />infomnation regarding various aspects of the 1993 flood. The student members of the flood history <br />project are Toni Beebout-Bladholm, Jennifer Mathiason, Stacy Monge, Julie Porter, and Rebecca <br />Schlorf. The students are supervised by Janet Timmerman, an AmeriCorps/VISTA volunteer, and <br />Dr. Joseph Amato, a history professor at SSU. - <br />They are in the process of publishing a book that looks at the flood from many angles. They <br />have Iooked at personal experiences, agency involvement and conflict, the impact of wetland <br />draining, the history of flooding in Area II. the impact of the flood on agriculture, and have <br />collected photographs of the flooding. <br />A two-day conference "At the Headwaters: the Flood of 1993 in Southwestern Minnesota". <br />sponsored by the Flood Recovery Information Retrieval Project. was held on Aprll 20th and 21st. <br />Approximately seventy visitors took advantage of the historical gathering. To underscore the <br />perennial nature of flooding, the Redwood River was within inches of jumping its banks during the <br />conference. <br />The project will continue next year taking the information on the road. to area towns. schools. <br />and agencies to continue flood. awareness and bring understanding of each area's particular <br />interests. <br />~:". <br />=-:F <br />~: <br />~.
