West Virginia Seeks Federal Flood Aid | Charleston News
Description
Governor Patrick Morrisey is calling on President Trump to declare a major disaster for West Virginia after catastrophic flooding hit Boone and Logan counties, damaging 186 homes—including 12 destroyed and 18 severely damaged. With state resources stretched thin, federal aid through FEMA’s Individual Assistance programs could provide critical support for housing, counseling, and legal aid to affected families. Beyond immediate relief, the request also seeks funding for long-term resilience projects under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to prevent future disasters. West Virginia’s congressional delegation backs the move, urging swift approval so communities can begin rebuilding stronger, not just surviving.
