Incident Name:
Central City Floods
Situation Summary:
Significant spring rains have combined to produce flash flooding throughout the area and very
high water levels in the Roaring River and its tributaries. Weather reports indicate the high
probability of more rain the next few days. If more rain comes, the Roaring River is expected to
crest up to six (6) feet above flood stage.
Given the potential for significant flooding, the mayor of Central City, in collaboration with
county emergency management officials, has requested Red Cross representation at the
Emergency Operations Center to facilitate planning for an orderly evacuation of affected
neighborhoods, including adequate sheltering, if necessary; and monitoring the water supply
for possible contamination.
As predicted heavy rains fell throughout the night, the Roaring River crested overnight, earlier
than expected, and several neighborhoods in Central City have been flooded. It is estimated
that 2500 residents have been evacuated from their homes. Four Red Cross shelters are
currently open with a combined population of 500. There were also two local church shelters
opened with a reported population of approximately 45 residents. Several roads and bridges
are closed and many swift water rescues are currently underway.
