Time To Issue Declaration
This weekend marks five weeks since lives in the Valley Grove and Triadelphia communities changed forever following flash flooding that killed nine of our friends, neighbors and family members. Mr. President, it’s time to sign the major disaster declaration that opens up funding and assistance from FEMA.
Let us hope that happens early this week, as Sen. Shelley Moore Capito on Thursday predicted would take place. There’s no time to waste for those still trying to figure out how to replace furnaces, air conditioning units, washers, dryers and more.
Mr. President, sign the declaration. Our friends and neighbors need federal assistance.
