(Lincoln, NE) -- After the visit to Eastern Nebraska from Vice President Mike Pence, President Trump yesterday approved a disaster declaration for all of Nebraska following destruction from historic flooding.
The declaration allows for federal funding for people in Butler, Cass, Colfax, Dodge, Douglas, Nemaha, Sarpy, Saunders and Washington counties as well as cost-sharing assistance for Native American tribes and some other counties.
Governor Pete Ricketts said of the declaration that, "As we rebuild together, federal assistance is a key part of ensuring that we keep Nebraska strong and growing."
