Hastings Area Flood Response

The National Weather Service has predicted a 50% chance that the river would crest at 24.5 feet, which would be the 2nd highest flood record for Hastings. All NWS predictions suggest the river will rise above the major flooding stage which is 18 feet.

Volunteers are requested to help protect riverfront property. The Hastings American Legion Post 47 is looking for volunteers to sandbag along the Legion's Wall of Fame--a commemorative wall that faces the river and will be exposed during the flood.
