Graham Statement on Disaster Declaration

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for the State of Florida triggering the release of Federal funds to help people and communities recover from Hurricane Hermine.  Representative Gwen Graham released the following statement in reaction:  

“I thank President Obama for recognizing the impact Hurricane Hermine had on North Florida. Our community rallied together to help each other through the storm and its aftermath – and the federal assistance stemming from this declaration will help us continue to recover,” Representative Graham said. “I’ve made constituent services a top priority since day one, and my office is prepared to help North Florida families and businesses cut through any red tape to access this new aid.”

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Hermine, Rep. Graham wrote President Obama asking him to quickly approve any requests for federal disaster assistance and has been in continuous communication with FEMA to urge the request be approved. Click here to view her letter.
