FABIAN RESPONDS TO STATE DISASTER ASSISTANCE AUTHORIZATIONS
ROSEAU, MN – Governor Walz notified the Legislature this week that several Minnesota counties qualified for disaster assistance due to the flooding that occurred this fall. This authorized the Department of Public Safety Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to provide public assistance, allocate state disaster assistance funds as necessary, and provide additional assistance if requested by local governments. Representative Dan Fabian, R-Roseau, released the following statement regarding the authorizations.
“I am glad to see the Governor has authorized disaster assistance due to the flooding we saw this fall,” said Fabian. “Our area has been hard hit by heavy rain, and this is a welcome development as we continue to deal with the aftermath of this incredibly difficult time. These authorizations will go a long way toward helping ease the financial burdens faced by the people of Marshall, Kittson, and Roseau Counties.”
Rep. Fabian previously requested a disaster declaration following the flooding in October.
