So we got hit by a derecho, now what?

Ellie Jones & Emma Hanigan, Community Disaster Recovery Coordinator & Urban and Community Forestry Coordinator

On August 10, 2020 Iowa and surrounding states were hit by a derecho, a widespread, long-lived, straight-line windstorm that caused catastrophic damage across the state.

This does not include the loss of benefits of the estimated 4,424,426 trees in urban areas that were damaged or lost. What is next? Find out more as we discuss ways to create more resilient urban forests in Iowa.
