6/25/2011 - MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- With more than 11,000 Minot residents forced to seek shelter after emergency management officials called for an immediate evacuation in anticipation of the flooding situation, providing assistance to displaced families became a top priority for surrounding communities, including Minot AFB.

Currently, 1,142 Air Force Global Strike Command and Team Minot Airmen and families have been affected, thus prompting the Emergency Family Assistance Control Center here to begin 24-hour operations to provide support services.
