Good Evening,
 
Members from the Iowa Wing flew four more long-distance sorties this morning and afternoon. Aircrews continued to perform photo recon on critical infrastructure throughout eastern and southeastern Iowa. In addition, we’ve now been tasked by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Natural Resources to search for hazardous materials such as propane tanks, fuel leaks, etc in the flood zones.

Wing and Squadron members continue to staff the State's Emergency Operations Center and the Linn’s County Emergency Management Agency.
 
From a public affairs perspective, Iowa's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (HSEMD) has granted CAP “all access” to photos we’ve taken on their behalf for additional news releases, CAP presentations, etc.
 
National HQ has posted the Senator’s news release in the national website along with sending it to the Associated Press to bring further attention to CAPs mission in supporting the HSEMD.
 
Press releases have been issued to Iowa Public radio as stated above and contact is being made with Iowa Public television along with CAP Public Service Announcements.
 
At the time of this writing, more tasking is expected on Tuesday 17 June.
 
Here's a quick link to the article that speaks to the Senators visit to the flood zones and hyperlink to flood-related photos within the article.
