City Updates 8/27/2020

8/27/2020

Burn Ban Update

The curfew has been rescinded. Electrical power has been restored to nearly all customers in Cedar Rapids and the curfew is no longer needed. We continue to ask residents to be vigilant during the evening and overnight hours when it is more difficult to see debris on sidewalks or roadways.

The burn ban will remain in effect indefinitely. With the elevated temperatures and tree debris drying out very quickly, there is an enhanced fire risk in our community. While outdoor cooking is allowed, we ask residents to exercise caution and ensure the cooking fire is completely extinguished.


Please continue to monitor the weather forecast with severe thunderstorms possible on Friday, August 28. The Linn County Emergency Management Agency will be activating the outdoor warning siren if winds exceed 40 mph because of the significant number of damaged trees and debris from the August 10 derecho.

Individual FEMA Assistance

Picture
Residents of Linn County can apply for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Individual Assistance Program. Assistance can come in the form of grants, low-cost loans, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster. Apply for assistance by calling 1-800-621-3362 or 1-800-462-7585 for TTY users. Users of 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS) may call 1-800-621-3362. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. CST, seven days a week, until further notice. Applications can also be submitted at www.DisasterAssistance.gov. ​


Solid Waste / Recycling Update

​As a reminder, recycling collection resumed this week. Yard waste will be collected again starting the week of Monday, August 31. We continue to collect carts from the street and not the alley at this time. Storm-damage debris pickup will begin the week of August 31.

Tree Debris Update

The City and its contractors continue to work on picking up curb-side tree debris from all areas of the community. As of August 26, crews have completed the first pick-up on approximately 22 percent of roadways, and have collected approximately 58,000 tons. Crews will return to each neighborhood multiple times to remove both tree debris and storm damage debris such as shingles, siding, etc. ​​

IMPORTANT NOTE! If a City tree, limb or debris has fallen into a street, move the limb to the side of the road if possible and contact Forestry (319-286-5747). The City will first clear the street and then return at a later time to pick up any debris or leftover city limbs. The City will clear alleys but not remove private debris.
