On Oct. 7, Governor Patrick Morrisey announced additional Federal Disaster Assistance for several West Virginia counties, including Tucker. The assistance was part of continued support from severe summer storms and flooding beginning July 21.
“I want to thank President Trump and his administration for approving this assistance and continuing to stand with West Virginia as our communities recover,” said Governor Morrisey. “Our local emergency managers, first responders and volunteers worked alongside the state and FEMA to document the damage and make the case for this assistance. We will keep working to get resources where they are needed and help these communities rebuild.”
In the case of Tucker County, the President approved Public Assistance. The Public Assistance Program provides federal funding on a cost-share basis for emergency work, debris removal and the repair or replacement of damaged public infrastructure, including roads and utilities.
