More than half of Missouri's counties have been
approved for federal aid to fix public infrastructure and remove debris
following the most recent round of flooding and tornadoes.
Gov. Mike Parson announced Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency
has approved public assistance for governments and nonprofits in 68 counties
affected by flooding and storms between April 29 and July 5.
Preliminary assessments have identified $49 million in public costs - mostly to
state and local roads and bridges, buildings and utilities.
State Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Caty Eisterhold says the state
hopes to conduct damage assessment in an additional 22 counties that could be
added to the federal disaster declaration.
Federal public assistance also was approved earlier this year for flooding that
occurred in March and April.
