JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — St. Louis-area residents affected by last month's flash flooding are able to apply for federal aid after President Joe Biden on Monday approved Missouri's request for a major disaster declaration.
Gov. Mike Parson said he appreciated Biden acting swiftly to get Missourians help, and promised the state would continue to work with federal and local partners.
“As we’ve seen at the assistance center events last week, there is tremendous need to support the families that have been so severely impacted by the record flash flooding," Parson said in a statement.
