What happened
Severe weather has impacted the Midwest, leading to ongoing flash flooding in Indiana and Illinois. In response to the severe weather, Indiana Governor Mike Braun requested a Presidential Emergency Declaration through FEMA to secure additional resources for the flood response. Meanwhile, the Weather Prediction Center issued a MODERATE risk for flash flooding in major Iowa cities, including Des Moines.
Why it matters
FEMA has approved over $33 million in disaster recovery and hazard mitigation funding for communities in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. This funding includes over $24.7 million allocated through the Public Assistance program to help state and local governments cover critical infrastructure repair costs. Specific awards mentioned include over $22.4 million for Perry County School District No. 32 in Missouri.
A severe weather system is moving across multiple states, including Kansas, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.
