What went well.....•Daily calls with USACE•Collaboration with USACE on long-term projections•Reception of discharge measurements in real-time from USGS•Frequency of measurements on mainstem kept NWS model adjusted•USGS service exemplary (rating extensions, measurements upon request, emergency gage maintenance, RDGs)•Reception of gate changes in real-time from USACE and USBR
Maybe not so well....•Transfer of products hampered by comms issues•Pre-event rating extensions, some worked well, some not•Collaboration on Bismarck forecast troublesome. USGS rating showed one thing, USACE needed to maintain consistent forecast•DSS requests by one partner agency but different staff
