Flood 2008
This site was developed to provide as many resources as possible on flood related sites and assistance for the citizens of Iowa.
Though many of the resources are not disability specific, they are resources that are available to everyone in the state, whether you have a disability or not.
We hope to continually update our site as infomormation becomes available. If you know of any great resource or site that we do not have listed, please contact Amy Mikelson at amy-mikelson@uiowa.edu.
