On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas announced that the Trump Administration has approved his request for disaster relief aid following severe weather events in May. President Trump contacted Senator Marshall to inform him of the allocation of $6.7 million in public assistance for affected areas.
“This past May, several of our communities experienced devastating EF3 tornadoes, causing widespread destruction. Entire towns were leveled and significant damage was sustained to Interstate 70, public infrastructure, and private property,” stated Senator Marshall. “I am very grateful to President Trump and his administration for quickly fulfilling our request to provide the much-needed assistance to our Kansas communities.”
The aid will be available for Bourbon, Cheyenne, Edwards, Gove, Kiowa, Logan, Pratt, Reno, Scott, Sheridan, and Stafford counties in Kansas.
Senator Marshall had previously sent a letter in June requesting this assistance.
