THIRD BODY PULLED FROM DES MOINES RIVER IN UNDER A MONTH — Death Investigation Underway

We’re opening ONE exclusive sponsor spot for Iowa Pulse’s spring storm coverage. All of our alerts and reporting are backed by the National Weather Service, and during severe weather, thousands of Iowans rely on our updates in real time. We’re looking for one local business to be featured across that coverage this season. This includes: • Placement on our Weather Alerts page • Your logo on storm-related graphics • Exposure during major alerts and updates If your business helps during storm damage (roofing, restoration, insurance, etc.), this is one of the highest-visibility opportunities we offer. We’ll be locking this in within the next few days before storm season ramps up. Message us if you’re interested.
