Iowa's needs.

If you are able to assist in flood relief efforts, there are many ways to help your neighbors in Iowa. Here are some resources to get involved:

• Call 2-1-1:
  When you call 2-1-1, you can receive information on flood-related assistance, including road closings, evacuation and shelter information. Opportunities to help are available by zip code, so anyone can find out where to help near their home.

  • Iowa Concern Hotline:
    Volunteer hotline for people who wish to help in recovery efforts.
    1-800-447-1985

  • Iowa City Flood Hotline:
    319-887-6202

  • Johnson County Emergency Management:
    319-356-6028

  • Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Service Program -- Cedar Rapids:
    319-378-0337

If you are not able to assist in one of these areas but would still like to help, visit the American Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org) to donate to their relief efforts or find out how to get involved.

Thanks,

Obama for America
