FLOOD ASSISTANCE STILL AVAILABLE

Officials in the Project Recovery Iowa office are trying to ensure that those who were hit by the Missouri River flooding have been able to get all the state and federal recovery aid they're due.

Spokesperson Karen Hyatt says you don't have to do it all yourself.

The P-R-I staff have been on the ground since the flooding began, but Hyatt says they still haven't reached everyone that might need some help.

Anyone who lives or lived in the counties hit by the flooding can check with the Project Recovery Iowa office by calling the Iowa Concerns Hotline. That line is open 24-hours-a-day.

Hyatt says the Missouri River flooding was unlike any other recent disasters because of how long the water remained before the recovery efforts started.
