Boone County Disaster Assistance
This morning, Boone County was included in the list of Iowa counties that has been issued a Governor’s Proclamation. This issuance is due to the past and recent summer storms and heavy rains since June 1, 2010. This allows for the county, cities and citizens of Boone County state assistance. The majority of this proclamation only allows for equipment and manpower from the state to help with debris removal and flood assistance that is over and above what we have for local resources. However, this will also open up Boone County’s citizen’s to apply for assistance through the Iowa Department of Human Service’s Individual Assistance Program. You can access the application and requirements on the internet at Link
Or you can call the toll free number of 1 (866) 434-4692.
They should be able to help you determine if your losses are eligible and what you need to do.
