Beginning today, 36 residents of the North Dakota Veterans Home in Lisbon will be evacuated, and taken to a nursing home in Wahpeton. On Tuesday, the evacuation will continue, with 52 residents being taken to a new assisted living center in Valley City.
Administrator Mark Johnson says other arrangements are being made for the remainder of residents. There are about 120 in all. Some have already made plans to stay with family members as they wait out the flood.
