Following my strong advocacy on the House Appropriations Committee, we've been able to bring millions of dollars home to help with derecho relief, and this funding is critical to our ongoing recovery efforts in Cedar Rapids and other impacted communities. I will continue working across the aisle to bring disaster relief funding back to Iowa and to advance forward-looking mitigation and resiliency initiatives." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson Background: Since taking office, Hinson has announced $57.6 million in derecho relief for Linn County. Hinson supported legislation, including the FY22 appropriations package, that allocated resources for the Disaster Relief Fund. This supports recovery efforts to communities impacted by disaster. This FY22 appropriations legislation also increased the federal cost share for derecho recovery efforts to 90 percent, easing the financial burden on localities. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |
