Water level of a river rose over the tops of its banks, into the surrounding fields

In response to significant flooding on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, Governor Mike Parson signed Executive Order 19-14 on July 18, 2019, establishing Missouri’s Flood Recovery Advisory Working Group (FRAWG). The group is a working group that provides input on the state's short-, medium- and long-term flood recovery priorities. The FRAWG identifies areas where attention is needed and provides input on priorities for allocating state funding. In addition to giving feedback on the state’s levee system, the group explores options to improve the conveyance of floodwater through Missouri's major rivers.

The FRAWG is also responsible for debriefing following a flood event. The group continues to meet when conditions warrant. The following working groups  also work on flooding issues:

Current Status - Inactive

FRAWG is a standing working groups that remain inactive unless significant flooding requires the group to be activated.
