...A Model for Coordinated Flood Mitigation: The Spirit Lake Long-Term
Flood Recovery Plan
Although several Northern Plains tribes are now experiencing flood damage, the
North Dakota Spirit Lake tribe has suffered flood damage to its communities for an
extensive period of time. In December 2010, the Spirit Lake Recovery Plan was issued
to provide focused cost- and time-efficient strategies to address the 17-plus years of
flooding experienced by the Tribe. The Plan was generated as a part of FEMA’s 3
Emergency Support Function 14 (ESF 14 Long-Term Community Recovery), and
involves numerous Recovery Plan partners at the tribal, federal, state, and local levels.
Northern Plains ONAP staff traveled to Spirit Lake during September and December to
assist in finalizing and “kicking off” the Recovery Plan implementation.
