DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin says the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency has granted more than $1 million in funding for Iowa's Green Bay Levee and Drainage District.
The Iowa Democrat said Wednesday the funds will be used to reimburse the state for emergency repairs made during the 2008 floods.
Meanwhile Wednesday, Governor Chet Culver congratulated Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division Administrator David Miller on his appointment to a national council of advisers on emergency response. Miller was appointed to the FEMA's National Advisory Council as a state non-elected official.
