Trump approves Iowa disaster declaration

President Trump has approved a disaster declaration for most of Iowa after record-setting flood damage.  The White House announced Saturday afternoon the declaration clears the way for federal assistance in 61 of Iowa’s 99 counties.  Trump also declared a disaster in Nebraska earlier this week.

Individuals and businesses

in Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona, and Woodbury counties can apply for

temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property

funding is available in 56 other Iowa counties to State, tribal and eligible

local governments as well as qualified private nonprofit organizations on a

cost-sharing basis for emergency work.
