Catastrophic flooding has severely impacted communities in Iowa and Minnesota, prompting local and federal officials to take action. In Iowa's 4th District, Representative Feenstra's team, including Agriculture and Manufacturing Liaison Wes and Regional Director Jim, have been on the ground in Correctionville, Rock Valley, and Emmetsburg to survey the damage and coordinate relief efforts with Governor Reynolds and FEMA Administrator Criswell. Iowans affected by the flooding can call FEMA at 1-800-621-3362 for assistance.

The St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers are expected to crest this weekend, exacerbating the situation. Senator Tina Smith highlighted the need for neighborly support during this crisis. Senator John Thune visited North Sioux City to discuss recovery efforts following the Big Sioux River flooding.
