Hinson Announces Derecho Relief Funding for Marshalltown

Statement

Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-01) today announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is awarding $4.4 million to the City of Marshalltown for derecho relief efforts.

"Marshalltown suffered serious damage as a result of the Derecho, and the community is still recovering. These ongoing relief efforts have put a major strain on local resources and these funds will help the City of Marshalltown fully recover. I will continue working to bring disaster relief resources back to Iowa so that we can become whole again after this horrible storm." -Congresswoman Ashley Hinson

Background:

Hinson supported legislation, including the FY22 appropriations package, that allocated resources for the Disaster Relief Fund. This supports recovery efforts to communities impacted by disaster.
This FY22 appropriations legislation also increased the federal cost share for derecho recovery efforts to 90%, easing the financial burden on localities.
