Wednesday, June 26, 2013 (DES MOINES) - Governor Terry E. Branstad has issued a proclamation of disaster emergency for one county in response to recent storms and flooding.

Today, the Governor issued a proclamation to activate the Iowa Individual Assistance Program in Clinton County. A governor's proclamation of disaster emergency had been issued June 1 to make state resources available for disaster response in Clinton County.
