GRAFTON, N.D. - The Red River Basin Commission is holding public meetings about long-term flood protection.

Executive Director Lance Yohe says people who attended one of the first meetings, in Hankinson, talked about their fears of more flooding next year because the soil is still saturated.

Meetings are scheduled this week in the Minnesota communities of Roseau and Oslo. Others are scheduled next month in Lakota, Devils Lake, Langdon and Pembina and in Morris, Manitoba.

Yohe says the commission will write a report to the Minnesota and North Dakota legislatures and the states' congressional delegations in 2011.
