FEMA turns down Branstad request
Gov. Terry Branstad was notified late Thursday by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that Iowa’s request for activation of the Federal Individual Assistance Program for Fremont, Harrison, Monona, Pottawattamie and Woodbury counties has been denied.
“I intend to appeal this issue with FEMA,” Branstad said, “based on the simple facts that the flood is still occurring and as the waters slowly recede, new damages will be revealed which will have further impacts to Iowans already fighting through this unprecedented flooding event.”
