“A New Way to Donate” –At the request of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management officials, the Safeguard Iowa Partnership helped the state implement the new FEMA-endorsed Aidmatrix solution that Governor Chet Culver calls “a new way to donate” – an online link that quickly channels donations to relief organizations working on the ground.  Interested in contributing products to help Iowa recover?  For the BENS National portal on Aidmatrix, click here.
