(Council Bluffs, Iowa) – All Long-term Disaster Recovery Centers (LT-DRC) in Iowa will be closed on Monday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. The centers will reopen on Tuesday, November 12 at 9 AM.
At the LT-DRCs Disaster Case Advocates are on hand to help survivors navigate the recovery process, and answer questions about available state, local, and federal assistance and how to apply. Survivors can also check their FEMA or Small Business Administration (SBA) status, receive assistance with their federal assistance applications, including how to file an appeal on a denied federal application, and receive ongoing assistance with unmet needs. Survivors are encouraged to visit their LT-DRC during its hours of operation.

Additional Ways to Reach a Disaster Case Advocate
Disaster survivors from Pottawattamie County with ongoing or unmet needs can also get connected to assistance by completing the online Pottawattamie County Needs Assessment Survey. You can find more information on the emergency management agency’s website.
After two straight wins the Iowa Hawkeyes get ready for Friday night’s game at Big Ten newcomer UCLA. Quarterback Brendan Sullivan has ignited lopsided wins over Northwestern and Wisconsin after a subpar effort in a loss at Michigan State.
That’s Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz. With Cade McNamara still sidelined Jackson Stratton will be the backup quarterback this week. The Colorado State transfer stepped into that role after Marco Lainez (lie-nez) was injured in practice last week.
Stratton appeared in four games for Colorado State in 2022.
Iowa has not won a game in Pasadena since a victory over California in the 1959 Rose Bowl and none of the games since have even been close.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell believes his Cyclones are resilient enough to overcome a stinging defeat. The 17th ranked Cyclones had their perfect record spoiled by a loss to Texas Tech and next up take on Kansas in Arrowhead Stadium.
Campbell says resilient teams are able to bounce back from a disappointing defeat.
Campbell likes the mentality his team has displayed this week.
Campbell says leadership and experience is crucial during a week like this.
(Radio Iowa) – If the results in some Iowa races are extremely close, there could be recounts — but they’re not automatic. A candidate has to request one. Under state law, taxpayers will cover the cost of recounts in races where a candidate is ahead by 50 or fewer votes — or is ahead by less than one percent of all votes cast in the race. Candidates can ask for recounts that exceed those parameters, but they’ll have to cover the cost if they aren’t declared the winner after ballots are recounted.
Candidates may request recounts in the three days after results are certified by county supervisors. The initial results are unofficial until that happens. Candidates can ask for recounts in certain precincts or counties — or for all the votes in their race to be recounted.
Three person boards oversee recounts in every county in which there’s a recount request. One member of a recount board is appointed by the candidate asking for the recount and another represents the candidate with the most votes in the initial count. Both candidates have to agree on the third member of the recount board.
