Disaster

In addition to our primary role of connecting residents to the help they need, Iowa 211 is involved in local disaster planning, response, and recovery. Whether it is a flood, windstorm, extended heatwave, ice storm, or other types of disasters, 211 provides support to community and emergency service providers in the event of a disaster.

The Iowa 211 Center works closely together to ensure that 211 information services remain available during a local or state emergency.
Nebraska and Iowa are experiencing significant disaster-related issues. The situation is continually changing. Please dial 2-1-1 or text your zip code to 898-211 if you have needs at this time. For Nebraska and Southwest Iowa, click here for a current list of flood-specific resources.

Iowans and Nebraskans may now call 211 with questions or concerns about the massive 2019 flooding and what steps they can take toward recovery.
