Moorhead: Sandbag Volunteers Should Register

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Flood-fighting volunteers are encouraged to register with the city of Moorhead to learn when they may be needed to place sandbags.

Moorhead has enough sandbags on hand for a Red River crest of up to 41 feet. While there are no immediate volunteer needs in Moorhead, volunteers will be needed when it's time to place sandbags.

Groups and organizations are encouraged to register to be notified about future volunteer needs by calling (218) 299-5107 or emailing.

While volunteers are not needed in Moorhead right now, the neighboring city of Fargo, N.D., and Cass County are looking for volunteers to fill sandbags this week.

New information will be posted here.
