This evening, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley announced that federal disaster aid has been approved for Eastern Missouri following the severe storms in May. The announcement came with an expression of gratitude towards U.S. President Donald Trump for his prompt approval of the necessary funds.
"Thank you @realDonaldTrump for again approving disaster relief for Missouri. Much, much needed," tweeted Senator Hawley.
Senator Hawley has actively advocated for disaster assistance after the storms and tornadoes resulted in the loss of seven lives in Missouri. He personally surveyed the damage across St. Louis and engaged with residents, first responders, and community leaders to assess their needs.
After returning to Washington, Senator Hawley pressed the Trump Administration to provide federal disaster aid. He also secured a commitment from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who oversees FEMA, to expedite the relief process.
