Des Moines, Iowa — Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says portable classrooms being set up for students in Rock Valley will have a different use once repairs to the community’s flood-damaged schools are completed.
The governor says Iowa Department of Transportation dump trucks have made several thousand trips to haul away debris from flood-ravaged neighborhoods.
While the vast majority of direct government assistance for Iowa flood victims is coming from the federal government, Reynolds says an agreement among states is filling a few gaps. It’s called the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.
Reynolds briefly discussed Iowa’s recent string of severe weather during an appearance at an American Legislative Exchange Council event in Colorado.
