Congresswoman Ann Wagner has announced that President Donald Trump approved two Major Disaster Declarations for Missouri. These declarations cover severe weather events from March 14-15 and March 30-April 8. Wagner stated, "Our communities have been severely impacted by dangerous weather events, and we have seen a tragic loss of life here in Missouri. These Major Disaster Declarations are good news for Missourians who need help recovering and rebuilding, and I thank President Trump for acknowledging our deep losses and ensuring our state gets the help we need."
The approved Public Assistance for the storms on March 14-15 includes Franklin County, while Individual Assistance is available for both Franklin County and St. Louis County.
Missouri has faced four significant weather events recently. The first two disaster declarations were granted today. A third declaration request for storms on April 29 was submitted by Governor Kehoe and is currently under review. The tornado that hit St. Louis on May 16 is being assessed by FEMA officials, after which Governor Kehoe will submit another request for federal support.
Wagner noted her collaboration with local officials to provide aid and mentioned her readiness to assist constituents in MO-02 needing federal help via her Ballwin office or website. She also expressed her commitment to supporting future requests led by Rep. Wesley Bell for additional federal assistance following recent tornadoes.
Residents of Franklin and St. Louis Counties can apply for FEMA assistance online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362.
