Narrative:
There was a problem with the flaps en route to msp, from dfw. The captain asked that we prepare the cabin for an evacuate/evacuation should it become necessary upon landing in msp. We went through the checklist and followed procedures exactly. It was a textbook situation whereby we followed procedures and landed safely with no evacuate/evacuation necessary.
