The Flood of 2008: How you can help
The University of Iowa and the Iowa City-Coralville community have
suffered widespread and unprecedented damage as a result of the historic
flood of 2008. Alumni and friends who wish to help their neighbors in need should contact their local relief agencies; those living in Johnson and Linn Counties in Iowa may visit www.corridorrecovery.org to learn of ways to help.
For those wishing to support the University as it struggles to recover
from flood-related damage not covered by insurance or other resources, we
encourage contributions to the UI Flood Relief Fund.
Gifts of all sizes are needed and appreciated, and our first priority is to assist UI students and employees who have been displaced from their homes by the flooding.
After addressing these most immediate human concerns, we will use contributions to the fund (as available) at President Sally Mason's discretion to address other areas of flood-related need throughout the campus.
