Video: ‘When I saw the devastation, I just went back home and cried,’ Tornado in Cave City leaves town torn apart
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asking a federal agency to reverse its decision about storm victims in the state.
The governor’s office said in a Friday statement that Sanders is appealing to FEMA to reverse its decision to deny the Arkansas Major Disaster Declaration for individual and public assistance. The declaration was for the storms and tornadoes that crossed the state on March 14 and 15. Arkansas to appeal federal denial for individual assistance after March 14 storms
The governor’s office statement said the following counties are in the original request: Baxter, Stone/Sharp, Hempstead, Independence/Randolph, Sharp/Randolph, Nevada, Independence/Jackson, Randolph/Clay, Woodruff, Clay, and Greene counties.
“Arkansas communities are still recovering from this spring’s tornadoes, as the sheer magnitude of this event resulted in overwhelming amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the tragic loss of three lives, and injuries to many others,” The governor said. “To relieve the burden on these counties, cities, and towns, I am appealing FEMA’s decision to deny Arkansas’ Major Disaster Declaration request.” Noem says she plans to ‘eliminate FEMA’
Sanders requested the Major Disaster Declaration relief on April 2. On April 18, she asked for a 30-day extension of time.
kinda awkward asking for fema, when your party wanted to and already gutted it.
Also, rather not support Fox.
Consuming their content with an adblock costs them money.
It's like when you go to Walmart and find items for <50c and buy them individually with a credit card.
