Learn moreA real, historically severe Red River flood risk
Major floods struck Wahpeton-Breckenridge in 1897, 1950, 1989, and a record-setting 1997 crest -- a real, well-documented risk this record discloses directly rather than treating as purely historical.
2005 flood-mitigation infrastructure
Levees and a flood diversion channel were built specifically to protect Wahpeton and Breckenridge in 2005, a real, current mitigation response to this documented flood history.
North Dakota's genuinely modest statewide insurance range
No Wahpeton-specific premium figure was found this pass; North Dakota's own statewide range ran approximately $1,300-$2,400/year, per this project's own ND state record.

- Wahpeton carries a real, well-documented, historically severe Red River flood risk.
