Five major flood events in 10 years have been devastating to many residents in Iroquois County. After the grants, insurance, and aid programs come and go, a volunteer organization, the Iroquois County Long Term Recovery Committee, continues working to help these residents continue to recover.

The Watseka Area Chamber of Commerce is the central point of contact for the committee, contact Amanda at 815-432-2416 for more information. Donations accepted at First Trust and Savings Bank in Watseka.
