President
Bush to Visit Area Thursday
Posted 18 June 2008
President Bush has announced he will inspect flood damage in Iowa
tomorrow, Thursday, June 19, during a visit to the state.
The president said that an existing federal disaster relief fund has
enough in it to cover the recent severe Midwest flooding. He also said
he will work with Congress on emergency legislation to help replenish
the fund to be ready for possible additional natural disasters.
Bush was briefed on the flooding Tuesday by federal officials involved
in the relief effort.
Several counties in Northeast and Central Iowa have been declared
Presidential Disaster areas, which makes individuals and businesses who
sustained damage from recent storms and floods eligible for relief and
recovery funding.
