President Donald Trump has ordered federal assistance for 10 Oklahoma counties after severe storms caused major flooding starting May 7 throughout the state, officials announced Saturday.The assistance was approved for the following counties: Haskell, Kay, LeFlore, Muskogee, Noble, Osage, Pawnee, Sequoyah, Tulsa and Wagoner. FEMA has been authorized to identify, mobilize and provide equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency, officials said. “We appreciate the President’s prompt response to our request for federal aid and we will continue to stay in close touch with the White House and federal authorities as we try to help communities keep their residents safe from this deadly flooding,” Gov. Kevin Stitt said in a news release. “Many Oklahoma communities have been hit hard, and we will be doing everything possible to help them today in their time of need and in the weeks to come.”Although Oklahoma will receive federal assistance, state authorities will continue to assess the need for additional federal disaster aid to cover further response and recovery costs, officials said.On Friday, Stitt declared a State of Emergency for all 77 counties affected by flooding and severe storms in Oklahoma, which remains under a declaration of emergency.Oklahoma officials also remind the public that the best way to support survivors of emergencies or disasters in Oklahoma is with cash donations to reputable voluntary organizations. Cash donations allow relief organizations or survivors to purchase what they need, when and where they need it.
