EVENTS

Sewage backup? Water in basement? Closed roads? Power outage? Flash floods?

We all experience life uniquely. The same is true in times of disaster. If you have personally experienced the impact of flooding in Vinton and have struggled because of it, we want to hear from you.

We hope you were able to join us at our community conversations in July 2019 to share with us your memories, worries, ideas, and hopes for a future, flood resilient Vinton.

If you would like to share your story with us, please call the Iowa Valley RC&D office at 319-622-3264.
