DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad issued a disaster proclamation Monday for Union County which suffered damage after severe storms and rain on Sept. 9.
Areas of Union County received 6 inches of rainfall during the storms. Two inch hail was also reported north of Lenox near Union County.
Under the declaration, the county can use state resources to recover from the storm.
In addition, households that meet certain income requirements can apply for grants to help pay for expenses related to storm recovery. Those seeking such grants can get more information on the Iowa Department of Human Services’ website.
