Flood Recovery update from Sheldon City Manager Sam Kooiker

FEMA has provided more than $70 million in Individual Assistance to Iowa residents who suffered serious damage from this past summer’s flooding, severe storms, and tornadoes. In addition to Individual Assistance money, FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program has paid over $27 million in claims for Iowa policyholders.

For those households who need more extended temporary housing, FEMA has worked with the
state of Iowa and local officials to provide Manufactured Housing Units (MHUs). As of December 23, 2024, there are over 100 households now residing in MHUs in Northwest Iowa.
