    We would like to thank people for their urgency to help, but NO volunteers are needed at this time to assist first responders in @DouglasCountyNE. We will let the public know when volunteers are needed and where they should go. #severewx #volunteers #omaha #nebraska

    Special thanks to the @OmahaPolice and @OPDABLE1 for this critical view of the flooding in western Douglas County. Being able to see a bigger picture of the flooding is key to emergency response and Unified Command planning. #NebraskaFlood #valley #flood2019

    โ€œWe just wanted all of our hardworking staff at the Health Center to know we are so proud of them,โ€ said Commissioner @maryannborgeson. โ€œThey have a very tough job and they have stuck in there like champions. We wanted to give them a boost and show them they are heroes.โ€ #COVID19

    The @DCSheriffNE will issue citations to anyone driving around barricades in flooded areas of Valley & Waterloo. This morning, a person attempting to get a closer look drove around a barricade not realizing how deep the water was and their truck stalled. #NebraskaFlood #Flood2019
