The Governor is seeking Public Assistance for Jasper, Polk, Story, and Warren counties, after severe weather over the first days of July produced high winds, severe flash flooding, and massive overtopping across central Iowa’s river basins which damaged public infrastructure and private property. “The damage to public and private property due to these severe weather events is beyond what local governments can or should be expected to carry alone,” said Rep. Nunn . “Our team is working with county and city leaders and the Governor’s office to move this request forward, and we’ll keep working at every level of government — local, state, and federal — until Iowans have the help they need to rebuild.” Under the Governor’s request, Public Assistance would help rebuild damaged public infrastructure and facilities and cover emergency cleanup costs in Jasper, Polk, Story, and Warren counties. The request also seeks statewide Hazard Mitigation Assistance to support projects that improve future disaster recovery.
