Reynolds Submits Request For Federal FEMA Funding

Governor Kim Reynolds has submitted the promised request for an expedited Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for Iowa communities and counties that were hit by the derecho that blew across that state one week ago today (Monday).  The request says the state will need nearly four billion dollars in federal support to recover. The governor requested funding under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Individual Assistance Program for twenty-seven counties including Jackson County and Jones County.
