Governor Laura Kelly has sent a request to President Donald Trump asking for emergency federal assistance to help with the widespread severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that have affected the state of Kansas.
Kelly said “Kansas is experiencing damage from severe weather and historic flooding due to extended heavy rain. We are working with our local, state and federal partners to ensure Kansans have the resources they need at this challenging time.”
46 counties are included in the declaration, but Sedgwick County is not one of them.
Governor Kelly wants to make sure the Kansas Division of Emergency Management has everything it needs to assist local partners and keep people safe.
