A spokeswoman at Missouri's State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) tells KXCV-KRNW News that they have worked with FEMA to approve Nodaway County's application for $274,368 dollars.
Nodaway County's emergency management manager told KXCV-KRNW that the county's initial application, which was filed on time, was denied because FEMA considered it a late submission.
The state spokeswoman says there was a technical glitch at FEMA and that FEMA is working to resolve the issue.
Nodaway County is requesting money after floods washed out roads, the loss of gravel on roads, and damaged culverts among other things.
