SEK Disaster Declarations from Gov. Kelly

 

Yesterday, May 24th, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly added additional counties to a state disaster declaration. More than 40 counties have been included in the state disaster declaration, which was originally signed on May 9th following widespread flooding.

 

Southeast Kansas Counties currently included in the declaration are: Anderson, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Coffey, Crawford, Elk, Franklin, Greenwood, Lyon, Montgomery, Neosho, Osage and Wilson.

 

The declaration authorizes the use of state resources and personnel to assist with response and recovery operations in affected counties that meet certain criteria. The state declaration may be further amended to include any additional counties that experience flooding.

 

Please contact Barbara Anderson with the Kansas Department of Commerce (KDOC) if you have damage to any city or county municipal buildings, water or sewer treatment facilities. Barbara's contact information is (620) 717-5713 or barbara.anderson@ks.gov. 

 

In the same manner, please contact Craig VanWey with KDOC if you have any manufacturing or industry damage. Craig's contact information is (785) 633-8407 or craig.vanwey@ks.gov. Craig and Barbara will do what they can to see if there are any resources available that might possibly help.
