Texas Governor Greg Abbott has asked President Joe Biden to issue a Presidential Disaster Declaration for areas of the Lone Star State impacted by recent severe weather and flooding.
Texas has been rocked by inclement weather over the past few weeks, including thunderstorms that have triggered flooding and tornados.
Abbott wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Due to severe weather and flooding that continues to cause devastating damage in several of our communities, I am requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
“The extensive damage caused by these severe storms, historic river flooding, and tornadoes requires comprehensive, robust action by all levels of government to help Texans rebuild and recover.”
Sent a letter requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration to help 26 counties impacted by severe weather and flooding.
This will give Texans access to financial assistance that will help cover costs for temporary housing, repairs, and more.
