Kansas Seeks Federal Disaster Aid

Governor Laura Kelly is seeking a major disaster declaration for Kansas to unlock federal aid after catastrophic storms, straight-line winds, flooding, hail, and tornadoes devastated the state between April 26–27. Targeting two key FEMA programs — Hazard Mitigation for the whole state and Public Assistance for five hard-hit counties (Cherokee, Morris, Osage, Saline, Wabaunsee) — the request aims to jumpstart recovery for small, rural communities struggling with damaged infrastructure, utilities, and transportation. With limited local resources, federal funding is essential to begin rebuilding and restoring normalcy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
