Three U.S. States Declare Emergencies as Missouri River Swells
--------------------------------------------------------------

In the United States, authorities have declared states of emergency in
Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa for communities along the Missouri River, as
warming temperatures have melted snow from last week's storms, causing
the river to breach levies and overflow its banks. The floods have
killed four people over the past week and caused an estimated $1 billion
in damage.
