IOWA FLOOD UPDATE
February 23, 1994
To date, $16.7 million in Federal-aid funds
have been committed to Iowa.
The funds are being used for restoration of a total of
500 sites (bridges and highways) in 83 counties and
13 cities.
50% of the restoration work has been completed.
Highway 71, a North-South route in the western
part of the state (an NHS route), had a bridge
completely washed out. Detours are currently
in place while the bridge is being restored.
$1.6 million in federal funds are being used
toward the restoration effort due to be
completed sometime in 1995.
Highway 65 in Bondurant (non-NHS route) received
$250,000 in ER funds to repair damage to 3/4 mile of
pavement. Secretary Peña visited this site. It is now
fully reopened to traffic.

Head Start: In FY 1993, 18 Head Start programs in Iowa were
funded at a level of $20,111,000 and 5,758 children and families
were serviced by Head Start. In FY 1994, Iowa Head Start
programs will receive funding increases totalling $3,641,000,
resulting in a FY 1994 funding level of $23,752,000.
Status of Iowa waivers: Iowa submitted a request for a
modification of waivers for the Iowa Family Investment Program
demonstration on January 13, 1994. ACF approved amendments to
the first waiver so that a more generous earned income disregard
would not apply in determining the AFDC eligibility of new
applicants, but would be applied in determining their benefits if
they were determined eligible. ACF is in the process of
reviewing the second requested modification, which would allow
the State to make an entire case ineligible when the only child
in a case fails to fulfill a responsibility under the Family
Investment Agreement. Currently the waiver allows for a sanction
that only reduces AFDC benefits.
Flood Relief: HHS has obligated approximately $25 million to the
State of Iowa to assist victims of the Midwest Flood.
Approximately $9 million has been provided through SAMHSA to
assist with crisis counseling and substance abuse treatment.
About $6 million has been provided to assist with community
health center clinics providing primary care, maternal child
health services, family planning and dental health services
through HRSA.
Almost $3 million has been provided through CDC to assist in
traditional public health services, such as disease
surveillance and sanitation services.
Another $6 million has been provided through the
Department's social service programs to assist victims who
need housing related services and assistance for seniors.

Paige-
The Army Corps of Engineeers expects to repair 49 levees in Iowa
at a cost of $7 million. Repairs are complete or underway on
about half of those. Although permanent repairs won't be
complete until December of this year, the Corps anticipates
completing "initial" repairs by the end of March. Initial
repairs are quick fixes to plug the holes in levees and get them
back to the same level of protection as the levee had previously.
Then after the spring flooding, the levees will be re-vegetated,
small sloughs will be repaired, final repairs will be made to
internal drainage systems, etc.
Louisa County Levee District No. 8 is awaiting a Soil
Conservation Service buyout process expected to be completed in
April.
To prepare for the possibility of Spring floods in Iowa, the
Corps is procuring and prepositioning sandbags; prepositioning
pumps; meeting and planning with FEMA, state and local agencies;
and coordinating closely with the National Weather Service in an
effort to predict probable locations of flood events.

IV. SUMMARY
In total, the State of Iowa expects to forward to FEMA and other
agencies, applications for at least 26 communities to acquire,
relocate or elevate almost 1,000 structures for a total of more
than $14 million.
