Major Disaster Declarations Approved for Missouri

Ballwin, MO - Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) released the following statement after President Donald Trump granted two Major Disaster Declarations for Missouri that cover the storms from March 14-15 and March 30-April 8:

“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. I have been working with local officials and people on the ground to provide as much assistance as we can, and if anyone in MO-02 needs help from the federal government, you can call my Ballwin office at 636-779-5449 or go to Wagner.House.Gov.  I also joined my colleagues in the Missouri delegation this week, led by Rep. Wesley Bell, in preparing to support Governor Kehoe’s request for further federal assistance for the tornado that just hit St. Louis, and I continue to pray for those who lost their lives and those in need.”

Missouri has recently been impacted by four series of major weather events.  The first two declarations were approved by President Trump today.  The third, covering the April 29th storms, was submitted by Governor Kehoe this week and is currently under review by the Administration.  The tornado that struck areas of St. Louis on May 16th is under review by FEMA officials on site as we speak, and once their review is complete, the Governor will submit a new request to the Administration for federal support.  As she has for each of the three previous storms, Wagner will sign a congressional letter of support, led by Rep. Wesley Bell, for the forthcoming gubernatorial disaster request covering the May 16th tornado.
