The state of Nebraska is receiving millions of dollars in federal flood relief. FEMA and the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency announced yesterday that the state will get 48-million-dollars in federal funding for residents and businesses impacted by last month's widespread flooding.  The funding will come from the U.S. Small Business Administration, FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program.  More than five-thousand Nebraska households have applied for assistance following the floods, and FEMA teams have visited more than 14-thousand homes in the state.
