He encouraged anyone concerned about a possible missing loved one to contact 911.

Kim Reynolds issued a disaster proclamation for Scott County in response to the partial collapse. During a Sunday evening news conference, Carlsten said the back of the six-story apartment complex had collapsed and separated from the building. Crews also found evidence of a natural gas leak, and water had leaked throughout the floors of the structure.
In the initial response, fire crews rescued seven people and escorted more than a dozen others from the building.Emergency crews and K9 units then worked through the night as part of a rescue effort, but Carlsten said the building was structurally unsound and posed a risk to responders.Copyright 2023 KWQC via Gray Media Group, Inc.
