Manhattan Fire Department deployed two swift water technicians with Squad 1 as part of the Northeast Kansas Task Force, supporting flood standby operations.
They were joined by task force members from Topeka and Junction City.
Moderate flooding is expected along the Big Blue River in parts of north central and northeast Kansas over the next few days. We are grateful for our firefighters and regional partners for their readiness and commitment to keeping communities safe.
