Disaster Funds for Iowa

Following the devastating floods and tornadoes which hit the state in the summer of 2008, the Rebuild Iowa Office with its federal, state and local partners has secured more than $4.3 billion in funding to help Iowa recover.

Committed, Appropriated & Expended

Committed funds are defined as those funds that have been promised to the State of Iowa for disaster recovery but are in various stages of program approval and are not necessary yet available for use or appropriated to specific projects.

Appropriated funds are those that have been designated to specific projects, areas or individuals.

Expended funds are those that have actually been spent on specific needs.
