Subject: Changes to flood stage categories for the Shunganunga Creek at
Topeka, KS.
Beginning on Tuesday, June 2, 2025, all flood stage categories for the
Shunganunga Creek at Topeka, KS at 21st Street, TSHK1, will be lowered.
Recent review of past floods indicated that flooding occurred at
lower stages than the existing flood categories. In order to
represent the flood impacts more accurately along the Shunganunga
Creek, the flood categories will be lowered. These changes have been
coordinated with the USGS and Shawnee County Emergency Management.
