The Clay County Extension and Outreach Office is doing their part to connect Iowa residents with flood related resources

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) -When the flooding hit Spencer and the rest of Northwest Iowa, it posed a challenge for the Clay County Extension and Outreach office to find their role within the disaster. With their new, and spacious office, they were able to open their doors to local organizations who were also providing relief to Spencer residents. And their generosity allowed organizations to carry on like normal, however, they have made the largest impact through their connection to Iowa State University.

“Our state has put together a great website of flooding resources,” says Ben Pullen, Senior Field Manager for Iowa 4H. “It’s a one stop shop if you go to the Iowa State extension website. It’s the first thing you see on the top of the page. So, you click on that, and it has resources that are available for people for their homes, for businesses, as well as for farms”

It you prefer a more personal conversation; the Iowa concern line may be a better option for you.

“Whatever is keeping you up at night, those questions, you can call the Iowa Concern Line, and they will connect you with experts that can help provide you information. They can connect you with counselor for someone who can talk to you about the stress that you’re facing, can connect you with legal resources to help you with whatever is keeping you up at night, explains Pullen.
