OMAHA, Neb. -- Hundreds of Iowa National Guard troops were mobilizing on Wednesday to provide assistance in flood relief across the Hawkeye State.

Guards members loaded up gear and inspected vehicles while waiting for their assignments.

More than 40 Iowa counties have already been declared disaster areas across the state. There is more rain on the way, so soldiers and airmen are preparing for future flood relief operations.
