Henry Asks For More Federal Flood Assistance

Governor Brad Henry asked the federal government today to expand the number of Oklahomans who can receive individual assistance for damages suffered from flooding and severe storms this spring and summer. The governor wants federal authorities to add another 16 counties to a federal disaster declaration granted for individual assistance earlier this month. The counties are Blaine, Bryan, Canadian, Cleveland, Cotton, Grady, Kiowa, Lincoln, Logan, McClain, Oklahoma, Payne, Pontotoc, Rogers, Seminole and Stephens. Five counties – Comanche, Nowata, Ottawa, Pottawatomie and Washington – have been approved for individual assistance thus far.
