Based on preliminary projections, the Mississippi could reach previously crested height, or higher. Projections are subject to change. We are asking all residents along the rivers to maintain their situational awareness in continuing to monitor the river levels.

  • Cleanup kits
  • Individual Assistance grant through the State of Iowa

Residents who are in need of emergency assistance are encouraged to call 911.
