Today was Rebuild Iowa Day at the Capitol where people from across the state highlighted recovery efforts and representatives from disaster-affected communities provided recovery information.
This event was sponsored by Iowa’s Rebuild Iowa Office and was held so that individuals can learn more about the state’s disaster recovery efforts from the 2008 floods and tornadoes.
The Rebuild Iowa Office has worked with Iowa’s leaders at all levels to secure more than $3.6 billion for Iowa’s disaster recovery.
Their goal is to help the state work towards a full recovery while working with local, state and federal recovery partners to encourage cooperation and communication.

Funds paid for disaster recovery have now topped $1 billion. The money, part of the $3.6 billion promised to Iowa, has been used by individuals, local communities, and the state to recover from the floods and tornadoes of 2008.
For the first time, this includes funds expended by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for levee work and other projects in Iowa. The chart provides a snapshot of the latest funding information as of November 30, 2009.
Iowans can learn more about financial assistance programs by calling 1-866-849-0323 or by going to the Rebuild Iowa Web site at www.rio.iowa.gov.
