Disaster proclamations for Hancock, Winnebago counties

DES MOINES — Governor Kim Reynolds has issued disaster proclamations for Hancock and Winnebago counties in response to severe weather on Tuesday.

The governor’s proclamation allows state resources to be utilized to respond to, and recover from, the effects of severe weather. In addition, the proclamation activates the Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program for qualifying individuals, along with the Disaster Case Management Program, for the counties.

The Iowa Individual Grant Program provides grants up to $5000 for households with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level for a family of three to be used for home or car repairs, replacement of clothing and food, and temporary housing expenses.

The Disaster Case Management Program addresses serious needs related to disaster-related hardship, injury or adverse conditions.
