In Iowa, relentless rains in late June surged river levels to record-breaking heights, breached levees, and impacted thousands of homes. Mud-Out units are needed to give families help and hope in the town of Spencer, northwest of Des Moines.

Hurricane Beryl caused tree damage and flooding in Texas. SC has been asked to send chainsaw units to Huffman, which is on the northeast side of Houston.

The Iowa response will go throughout July and August. It is yet to be determined how long the Houston response will be, but several weeks at the very least.
