WASHINGTON - Senator Chuck Grassley today said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded funding totaling $4,132,437 to Iowa.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, these federal funds are intended to supplement state and local recovery efforts from damage sustained during severe winter storms in Iowa from January 19 through 26, 2010. 

It is the responsibility of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management to ensure that the eligible sub-grantees receive these awards.
