Nebraska Thanks Trump for Federal Disaster Declaration
Nebraska Ag Connection - 03/22/2019
Governor Pete Ricketts and U.S. Senator Ben Sasse issued separate statements following news that President Trump had approved Nebraska's expedited request for federal disaster assistance. Governor Ricketts submitted the request following
devastating flooding and severe weather impacting virtually every region of Nebraska.
"Thank you to President Trump for his quick approval of Nebraska's request," said Ricketts. "Nebraskans have already been stepping up to begin the journey to recovering from the most widespread natural disaster in our state's history. As we rebuild
together, federal assistance is a key part of ensuring that we keep Nebraska strong and growing."
Sasse said, "I'm grateful for the President's expedited decision. We've got a long recovery ahead, but Nebraskans are going to get the job done. Our people don't quit -- I've met multiple parents who have lost their homes, but as soon as they get to shelters their
families start to organize volunteers. That's who we are. Nebraskans have grit, and we're grateful for the support of our federal partners as we work to rebuild our communities."
On Tuesday, Ricketts signed and submitted Nebraska's expedited request to the federal government for disaster assistance.
