Gov. Reynolds Makes Second Request for Federal Assistance for Davenport Building Collapse

Press Release

Yesterday, Gov. Kim Reynolds submitted a second request for federal assistance for Scott County following the May 28 collapse of The Hotel Davenport Apartments in Davenport.

Gov. Reynolds made an initial request to President Biden on June 6 for federal assistance for Scott County for debris removal and demolition, along with reimbursement for response activities. There has been no response to that request. Today's request contains additional data and information that clearly demonstrates that the severity of damage and loss caused by the structural collapse meets federal disaster assistance thresholds. This second disaster declaration request also seeks assistance for debris removal, demolition, and response activities.
