BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Missouri River governors plan to question a top officer for the Army Corps of Engineers about the agency’s plans for stopping future floods.

North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple is hosting Wednesday’s meeting in Bismarck. The governors of South Dakota and Kansas and the lieutenant governors of Nebraska and Iowa plan to attend in person. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer plan to listen join the meeting by telephone.

Brig. Gen. John McMahon is commander of the region that oversees the management of the Missouri River and its network of dams. He’ll be briefing the state officials on the corps’ flood-control plans.

States along the Missouri River sustained hundreds of millions of dollars in flood damage last year. Dalrymple says the governors want to know about federal plans for preventing another disaster.
