State and Federal Flood Resources

Natural disasters like floods can strike quickly, and Iowans need to have the tools necessary to keep themselves and their families safe from harm. I am actively monitoring the flooding in the 4th District, and am working closely with the Governor’s office to ensure any necessary Federal assistance is provided. Should you need them, I encourage you to use the resources listed here to make sure you and your loved ones are prepared should you find yourself in the path of rising waters.
