Discussions underway for Duck Creek flood warning system

RIVERDALE, Iowa (KWQC) - Discussions are underway for a flood warning system along Duck Creek.

The Quad Cities Flood Resiliency Alliance held its quarterly meeting on Thursday to talk about flood prevention, mitigation, flood insurance and floodplain management, according to a media release.

The meeting included a presentation on the need for a Duck Creek ALERT system, according to the meeting agenda.

In 1990, flash flooding along the creek damaged dozens of homes and caused thousands of dollars in damage.

A plan was proposed after the 1990 flooding, but the plans were never put in place.
