President Trump Approves Gov. Parson’s Request For State Disaster Declaration

Governor Mike Parson announced that President Donald Trump approved his request for a major disaster declaration to help local governments and nonprofit agencies in Missouri counties.

On March 21st, the governor declared a state of emergency in response to worsening conditions along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers due to heavy rainfall and flooding.

Thirteen counties were listed in the request for recovery efforts.

Federal assistance will be available for the repair of damaged roads, bridges, public infrastructure, and emergency response costs.

The governor’s request said $25 million in qualifying expenses has already been identified.

The declaration also provides assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hazard Mitigation Program.
