# Iowa Activates FHWA Highway Relief for Harrison County

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds issued an immediate 30-day disaster proclamation for Harrison County after storms beginning September 29, 2026, severely damaged highways and federal-aid routes. The proclamation activates the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Program, creating potential funding for roadway and bridge repairs, but the announcement identifies no specific solicitation, contract value, or procurement schedule.

- State and local transportation procurement teams and roadway and bridge contractors can view the program activation as a potential source of repair funding, not as an open contract opportunity.
- Because the announcement provides no defined scope, value, or schedule, firms cannot yet price or submit bids against a specific requirement.
