On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. announced that the Trump Administration is granting his request for disaster relief following several rounds of severe weather and tornadoes in May. President Trump informed Senator Marshall directly, confirming $6.7 million in public assistance is being allocated to support the impacted communities.

“This past May, several of our communities experienced devastating EF3 tornadoes, causing widespread destruction. Entire towns were leveled and significant damage was sustained to Interstate 70, public infrastructure, and private property,” said Senator Marshall. “I am very grateful to President Trump and his administration for quickly fulfilling our request to provide the much-needed assistance to our Kansas communities.”

The following Kansas counties will be eligible for public assistance: Bourbon, Cheyenne, Edwards, Gove, Kiowa, Logan, Pratt, Reno, Scott, Sheridan, and Stafford.
