Iowa Governor Issues Disaster Proclamations, Activating State Aid Programs
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Governor Kim Reynolds issued disaster proclamations for various counties in Iowa following severe storms. Proclamations covered areas including Jasper, Osceola, Polk, and Story Counties after weather starting on June 29th, and also covered Adams, Madison, Mills, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Taylor, Union, Dubuque, and Wapello Counties after storms on June 5th. These proclamations activate the Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program and the Iowa Disaster Case Advocacy Program for eligible residents.
Why it matters
The proclamations allow state resources to be used in recovery efforts for households impacted by the severe weather. The Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program offers up to $7,000 to qualifying households for expenses such as temporary housing, home repair, and car repair. The Disaster Case Advocacy Program connects affected households with resources to plan their recovery.
