One of the challenges for the Missouri River Flood Task Force (MRFTF) is quality information exchange with the 29 Tribes within the Missouri River basin affected by the 2011 flooding. The MRFTF ‘s Tribal Outreach Working Group (Working Group) acts as a conduit for information exchange on tribal issues. There are two actions for the Working Group at this time. One is to assist the MRFTF Co-Chairs in reaching out to invite the 29 Tribes to participate in the Task Force. The other is to facilitate information exchange on flooding impacts and restoration activities to and from the Tribes and MRFTF and its working groups.
