St. Louis County Sheriff's Emergency Management and other County leaders and staff continue to work through the weekend to assist people and local jurisdictions impacted by this week's rain and flooding. The County is also working closely with the National Weather Service and Minnesota Power to monitor current and potential impacts downstream resulting from the needed release of water from the Island Lake Reservoir.

With flood conditions persisting and water levels high on many lakes and waterways throughout St. Louis County, the Sheriff's Office is reminding people to use caution and be aware of the risks.
