Entry bubble After the Midwest Floods

By: Nicole | June 20, 2008 | Category: General

Rescuers Helping during Midwest Floods Several folks in the Gov Gab office have family in Iowa, Indiana, and Wisconsin, so it’s not uncommon these days to hear talk of the Midwest floods. We pass each other in the hallway or on the stairwell and ask, “How are your folks? Have you talked to them today?” So far, most of the extended Gov Gab family seem to be okay. 

If you’re worried about a family member, or have been affected by the floods, you can visit our newest page for help.

From there, you can search for loved ones to see if they have registered as "safe and well" with the Red Cross. Or you can register yourself as "safe and well."

You can also apply for disaster assistance or volunteer to help in the recovery efforts.

There are lots of other helpful links. For example, you might want to know about scams prevalent in flooded areas or learn more about personal health and safety after a flood.  If you lost important documents during the flood, like your birth certificate or social security card, you can find information about replacing your vital records. 

The U.S. Geological Survey has posted photos of the flooded areas on their website, along with related news releases and updates. 

Are there other bits of information you need regarding the flood?  Let us know, and we’ll try our best to help you find them.

I find it very interesting that there are no stories of looting in Iowa like there were in New Orleans.
