Wyoming Receives Federal Disaster Declaration

Wyoming has received a federal disaster declaration from President Obama. This is due to flooding, landslides and severe storms that occurred during May, June and July. The news means Wyoming will recoup some of the money spent on mitigation. The mitigation effort included proactive work by the Wyoming National Guard to protect communities. It also means several counties can receive federal assistance for repairing and replacing facilities damaged during the flooding, landslides or storms and for any other emergency work.
