Gov. Perry Issues Disaster Declaration for 40 Texas Counties
Gov. Rick Perry today issued a state disaster declaration for 40 Texas counties, which will help speed recovery assistance to communities and families affected by Tropical Storm Hermine by opening the door to state and federal assistance. The governor also met with local officials and took an aerial tour of areas impacted by the storm, which created tornados and dumped up to 12 inches of rain on parts of Central and North Texas, leading to extensive damage and dangerous flash flooding.
