Sen. Klobuchar to Visit Flood Areas in SE Minnesota on Monday

Klobuchar Commits to Securing Aid for Recovery & Rebuilding Efforts

August 19, 2007

U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar announced that on Monday she will visit communities in southeastern Minnesota that suffered severe flooding damage over the weekend.  Details of her visit will be released Monday morning.

Below is Senator Klobuchar’s statement:

“I join my fellow Minnesotans in extending our sympathies and prayers to all who have been affected by the sudden destructive flooding in southeastern Minnesota and bordering counties in Wisconsin.  This disaster has resulted in the loss of life as well as widespread damage to public and private property.  It’s the cruel nature of our weather this summer that we’ve gone from too little rain to too much rain in the course of a single weekend.

“On Monday I will visit the area to meet with first responders, local officials and residents to get a firsthand assessment of the damage, so we can move forward quickly with support and assistance for these communities. 

“I am committed to working with Congressman Walz and all our elected officials to make sure our communities have what they need to recover and rebuild from this disaster.”
