With the heavy rainfall, flooding has become a serious concern in the state. Iowa State University Extension Iowa Concern hotline is available for those who need assistance during this stressful time.
All calls are free and confidential, and the operators are willing to assist wherever possible.
Three avenues are available to Iowans through the Iowa Concern Hotline. First, counselors are available to help those experiencing emotional and financial stress because of the floods. Damage of crops and homes by the flooding can add extra stress. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone about what you are experiencing, and the hotline does that. Second, information and referrals are given to those who need assistance.
