Governor Kim Reynolds has approved Dickinson, Humboldt, and Palo Alto Counties in Iowa for Individual Assistance following recent storms and flooding in the region. This approval comes after a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration was issued for significant damage caused by severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes that occurred since June 16.
Residents of Dickinson County are now also eligible for the Iowa Disaster Recovery Temporary Housing Program, which provides assistance to those whose homes were severely damaged or deemed uninhabitable in counties under a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for both FEMA Individual and Public Assistance.
U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra praised the approval of federal disaster relief for the affected counties, urging impacted residents to visit his Natural Disaster Resource Center for assistance. He also expressed his commitment to working with Governor Reynolds to help families and communities recover and rebuild.
In addition to the newly affected counties, the Federal Emergency Management Agency Individual Assistance Program is already activated for Buena Vista, Cherokee, Clay, Emmet, Lyon, O’Brien, Plymouth, Sioux, and Woodbury Counties.
