Minot Recovery Information

Mouse River Flood Protection Plan

For our future

Welcome to the official website for information related to the City of Minot's flood recovery efforts. Due to the Mouse River flood this past summer, 2011 proved to be a more difficult year than words can ever describe. Yet the process of moving forward is well underway.

Many residents of Minot have to make tough decisions every day about what to do with their property, their family, their lives. We hope that this website will prove useful in communicating important information related to the flood recovery efforts taking place across our great city, the Magic City.

- Mayor Curt Zimbelman
