19 Oklahoma Counties Denied Federal Disaster Assistance
Gov. Mary Fallin says the federal government has rejected the state’s request for disaster assistance for 19 Oklahoma counties affected by severe weather, flooding and tornadoes in May and June.
Fallin said Wednesday the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied the state’s request for assistance to individuals and businesses in those counties.
The 19 counties are Blaine, Craig, Creek, Custer, Dewey, Garfield, Greer, Harmon, Haskell, Jackson, Kay, Major, Muskogee, Osage, Pawnee, Roger Mills, Sequoyah, Washita and Woods. Fallin encouraged individuals in the counties to seek help through organizations like the American Red Cross.
