Johnson County Long Term Recovery Committee

The Johnson County Long Term Recovery Committee invites property owners who sustained damage during last summer's flood to participate in a comprehensive assessment of unmet needs.

Trained and supervised volunteer teams from the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC) Disaster Response Services will be in Johnson County January 12-17. These "Green Shirts" will be conducting assessments at the Lobby Conference Room at Iowa City City Hall and at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, 1300 Melrose Ave., next Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. and on Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.

Appointments are encouraged but not mandatory and may be made by calling United Way of Johnson County, 338-7823. The assessment takes about 30 minutes. The first 200 participants will receive a $25 Hy-Vee gift card. These reports will help us understand and work toward meeting the as-yet unmet needs and providing resources from various community organizations. If you are unable to come to either of these sites, arrangements can be made for volunteers to come to your current residence.
