Another major storm is headed towards the Midwest and may impact Siouxland starting Wednesday afternoon and evening.
This winter storm is expected to deliver the most snow to Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. Up to two feet of snow in some spots.
The National Weather Service predicts the northwestern part of Iowa will stay warm enough to miss out on some of the heavier snow.
Since snowpack has already melted in the region flooding shouldn’t be as severe or widespread as last month.
FEMA recently opened up a Disaster Recovery Center at Western Iowa Tech Community College to help with victims of recent flooding.
Here’s FEMA spokesperson Rossy Rey.
“Really get registered, we encourage people to do that.”
Rey says the deadline for applying for Federal Assistance is May 23rdtwo months after the President declared Woodbury County a disaster area after flooding on March 12th. There are teams from FEMA going door-to-door in Sioux City. They already assisted people living in Hornick, a community devastated by high water.
The Disaster Recovery Center is open Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
Nebraska residents whose homes were destroyed by last month's historic flood could get a property tax break under a bill advanced by lawmakers.
Lawmakers gave first-round approval Tuesday to a bill that would require county officials to adjust the assessed value of homes that were destroyed by fires or natural disasters, such as floods and tornadoes.
The proposal's sponsor says it's designed to help flood victims who are likely suffering financial hardships.
