Three More Counties Approved for FEMA Individual Assistance

Governor Kim Reynolds on Thursday announced that Palo Alto, Dickinson, and Humboldt counties have been added to receive Individual Assistance under the previously approved Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for counties that sustained significant damage from severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes that occurred from June 16th until now.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency Individual Assistance Program is already activated for counties including Buena Vista, Cherokee, Clay, Emmet, Lyon, O’Brien, Plymouth, Sioux, and Woodbury. Dickinson County residents are now eligible for the Iowa Disaster Recovery Temporary Housing Program. The program is available to survivors whose homes were heavily damaged, destroyed, or deemed, not habitable in counties currently under a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for both FEMA Individual and Public Assistance.
