## Resource

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey is urging President Trump to declare a major disaster for three flood-ravaged counties—Fayette, Harrison, and Kanawha—after August’s catastrophic flooding destroyed 22 homes, damaged 60 more, and left over 600 homes in ruins, with Kanawha County bearing the brunt. The request seeks nearly $4.5 million in federal aid for housing and recovery, plus broader statewide support through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to build resilience against future disasters. With state resources stretched thin amid multiple emergencies, the governor’s office is also keeping options open to expand the request as damage assessments continue.
