1936 Northeast Flood
- ... that the 1936 Northeast Flood directly led to the passage of the Flood Control Act of 1936? Source: The Evolution of the 1936 Flood Control Act, by Joseph L. Arnold - "The great northeastern floods of March 1936 virtually assured the passage of some sort of national flood control legislation during the second session of the 74th Congress." [1], page 76 of PDF
- ALT1:... that the 1936 Northeast Flood left more than 260,000 people homeless? Source: Spokane Daily Chronicle, March 21, 1936. Connecticut Towns Menaced by New Flood Crest "Flood crests in New England and Ohio poured death and destruction over new localities today, with heavy rains and threats of snow adding to the misery of 260,000 persons made homeless by the widespread disaster."

Overall: 
There is a mix of standard inline citations and use of {{Rp}}. If there is not a reason for using both, then one or the other should be chosen and used throughout. Pending a response to this, the article is good to go. Ergo Sum 17:47, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Ergo Sum: The reason for using both standard inline citations and the Rp template is that the article has extensive citing of a 400 page report and another report which is over 100 pages. I could not find a way to handle this effectively, while also allowing for citations to webpages where the Rp template would not make sense, so both are used in different places as needed. If there is a better way to handle this situation, I am open to making changes. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:53, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
I have not done a deep dive on the article and the citation format is really more of an issue for GAN than DYK. I don't think this is the forum to discuss it since it's not part of the DYK rules. So, I'll go ahead and pass it. Ergo Sum 17:59, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
