Jeff talks about flood disaster and flood recovery (00:01:04) -- Regenia talks about when she knew the flood would be a serious event (00:01:58) -- Unprecedented event for planning department.

Surprised to see condominium people adrift (00:11:11) -- Jeff compares Iowa City to Cedar Rapids - both low and high income properties affected by flood. People not accustomed to victimization. People in trailer parks able to respond with more grace. Compassion to people in high-income areas (00:12:46) -- Jeff talks about theory that 95 percent of people he works with in municipal service are good people - 5 percent are really difficult but deserve the same attention (00:16:08) -- Regenia has received mostly positive feedback about municipal effort (00:17:23) -- What Regenia is working on now as Mayor of Iowa City in the aftermath of the flood (00:18:12) -- Jeff talks about programs going forward but not being able to do everything. Feeling guilty given that Cedar Rapids was much harder hit (00:19:21) -- Jeff and Regenia talk about a neighborhood near City Park and University, beauty of neighborhood (00:21:00) -- Event came early in Regenia's mayoral appointment (00:21:54) -- Director of Public Works giving news that reservoir would spill. Shock that this would exceed the 1993 floods. Regenia knew it would be big when members of Planning department were out sandbagging (00:22:32) -- Intensity of focus, people canceling their vacations. Hugh sandbagging operations. Jeff remembers comments about being younger in 1993 (00:25:00) -- Extraordinary community response (00:26:00) -- Never getting back to normal - a "new normal." Hopes people will be on their guard (00:27:00) -- Jeff talks about people loving the river and being by it despite the flood danger. Changes that will likely happen in the community.

Iowa City Flood
Description
An account of the resource
In June 2008, the Midwest experienced one of its most severe floods on record, causing the closure of highways and the evacuation of homes and businesses. Compiled in this collection are over 3,400 photographs taken by the University News Services documenting the event on the University of Iowa campus and in the Iowa City/Coralville area. Also included are two dozen oral history interviews, recorded by the UI Anthropology Department and by StoryCorps in collaboration with the UI Libraries, that capture the experiences of eastern Iowans affected by the flood.

Description
An account of the resource
Interview with friends and neighbors Lyda Brown (69) of Butler, Missouri and Joellen Shoemaker (68) of Des Moines, Iowa.
Lyda (age 69) talks with her friend and former neighbor, Joellen (age 68) about the flooding that drove them out of their neighborhood. They talk about evacuating, losing their homes, and their hopes to rebuild.
Their neighborhood, Idyllwild, wasn't supposed to flood. Little flood insurance. Water in 1993 was nowhere near them (00:01:50) -- Feel betrayed - FEMA told them they would be okay (00:03:33) -- Moving things to the second floor, moved furniture out. Joellen let her neighbor use the moving van instead of her (00:05:15) -- Four feet of water in their units. No basement to fill up first. Bad smell. Things on the counters still got covered (00:08:33) -- Lyda lived with her son for a month, then her rental was sold, had to move again. "Nightmare" (00:11:18) -- Joellen rented a place, hopes to move back soon (00:12:50) -- Removed from the FEMA buyout list, so they can apply for grants. Units are down to the studs, missing doors, facing Iowa winter (00:15:27) -- Idyllwild Association - acting on behalf of the entire neighborhood -- $22,000 up-front to remove mold. People going bankrupt, units selling for $1 (00:18:30) -- Legal implications. Going back would be cheaper than relocating. Want to rebuild (00:22:17) -- Moved out on June 12, first FEMA inspection June 23. Feelings during that time, dealing with FEMA (00:28:05) -- Joellen got less than half from FEMA than her neighbors. Fought to get equal treatment (00:32:00) -- Lessons: don't believe the authorities. Dealing with neighbors (00:35:16)
