Ernst Pushes for Disaster Response Resources for Iowa Farmers
Hearing
Issues: National Security
“Just a couple of weeks ago…we saw a lot of flooding coming through the northwest corner of my state. We saw heavy rainfall that caused major flooding up and down the Missouri River. Large portions of western Iowa saw similar destruction earlier this spring when we had tornados. We had a number of communities that saw 60% or more of their homes destroyed by tornados. Following each of these disasters, I was able to go out and visit with our constituencies, the Iowans, and personally hear their testimonies. We really are Iowa strong, and I certainly saw the best of our communities.”
