Rock Valley, Iowa — One month after flooding devasted Rock Valley, the mayor says work is still underway to bring in temporary housing.
Mayor Kevin Van Otterloo says the residents of about 150 households can no longer live in their homes.
Van Otterloo says Rock Valley is still waiting to get the all-clear from the federal government to start moving people into campers and trailers that are being staged at the Sioux County Fairgrounds, some ten miles away. He says FEMA is still assessing the damage to determine what financial help will be available for residents who were impacted the most.
Van Otterloo says there was already a critical need for housing -before- flooding hit the town of four thousand.
