🚨 FLOODING ALERT – ROBERTS COUNTY 🚨
Date: Friday the 13th – June 2025

As of 5:00 AM, the National Weather Service has placed much of Roberts County—including the Sisseton and Peever areas—under a Flood Warning due to over 5 inches of fast-falling rain overnight.

⚠️ WIDESPREAD FLOODING has been reported throughout the county, including along I-29 near mile marker 221. Numerous roads are impassable, and many others may appear safe but have unknown structural integrity due to rapidly moving water.

➡️ If you encounter a flooded roadway:

Turn Around, Don’t Drown – It’s not worth the risk.

Even shallow water can sweep a vehicle off the road.

Nighttime or low visibility makes these hazards even more dangerous.

📞 Our Dispatch Center is actively taking calls and logging road conditions as reported by the public. This information is helping us prioritize and direct our emergency response resources efficiently.

📸 If you come across flooded roads, please DO NOT attempt to cross.
Instead:

Snap a photo from a safe location

Include the nearest road name or intersection

Post it in the comments below to help keep others safe

🛠️ Also — check your sump pumps and be on the lookout for rising water in basements or low-lying areas.

And of course... what would a weather emergency be without a little irony — Yes, it’s Friday the 13th. Let’s not push our luck. Stay safe, stay smart, and stay dry.

🚨 Help Us Help You: Ensure Your Address is Clearly Visible! 🚨

Your house number isn’t just for mail, it’s a critical part of emergency response! When seconds count, having a clearly visible address can make all the difference for law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS trying to locate you.

✅ Why It Matters:
🔹 Helps first responders find you faster in an emergency.
🔹 Ensures accurate deliveries and service calls.
🔹 Assists law enforcement in responding to calls efficiently.

🔎 How to Make Sure Your Address is Visible:
✔️ Use large, reflective numbers that can be seen day or night.
✔️ Place numbers near the roadway and on your house.
✔️ Keep trees, bushes, and decorations from blocking your address.
✔️ Ensure numbers contrast with the background for easy readability.

👮‍♂️ A simple fix today could save a life tomorrow! If your address isn’t easily seen from the street, take a few minutes to improve it because it could make all the difference when you need help the most.
