Flood protection
The City of Fargo has developed a detailed plan to address flooding. This plan has been refined over the years with exceptional data collection and detailed input by key staff members. The plan includes two primary phases.
The plan outlines which roads should be closed as the Red River reaches various levels. Road closures begin when the Red River reaches 18 feet.
When the Red River at Fargo reaches the flood stage of 30 feet, the city will start emergency protective measures by building earth and sandbag dikes.
