DUNKERTON - Federal disaster money will go to two eastern Iowa communities not directly hit by a deadly tornado. Dunkerton and Fairbank will each receive $50,000 for rebuilding efforts.

The money from the Rebuild Iowa Office is part of one and a half million dollars awarded to seven communities. The tornado, which destroyed homes near Dunkerton, killed nine people in Parkersburg and New Hartford.
