KTVQ: Baucus, Tester: Help is on the way for Montana flood victims
Montana’s U.S. Senators Max Baucus and Jon Tester today announced a major Presidential Disaster Declaration for the state of Montana, making federal resources available for county, local, and tribal governments and private nonprofit organizations that are responding to the recent flooding.
Both Senators have been pressing FEMA to process the disaster designation quickly and are working with federal agencies, including the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Agriculture, to aid Montana’s recovery.
“In times of disaster our most important resource is each other and it’s going to take teamwork at every level to overcome the devastation of these floods,” said Baucus. “From the neighbor down the street in Roundup to the federal disaster agencies in Washington, we’re all in this together, and you can count on us to do our part to make sure Montana communities get the help they need,” Baucus added.
