Houghton,
June 18, 2018
"This weekend's storms have left an extensive impact on several of our Upper Peninsula communities. In the days and weeks ahead it's important that all affected by these storms continue to work together with local, state, and federal authorities to ensure the rebuilding and recovery process remain as streamlined as possible."
"As a Marine Commander, I've been a part of many disaster relief efforts throughout the country, and the coordination, volunteerism, and initial recovery efforts that took place over the past several days has been exceptional. The U.P. spirit is resilient, and together we will will rebuild and recover. " "I want to thank Governor Snyder for his leadership today and for working quickly to declare Houghton and Menominee Counties disaster areas. I stand ready to ensure that federal assets necessary in the recovery process are available for our local municipalities. I also want to applaud all of the volunteers, first responders, road crews, law enforcement, and all entities involved in the initial stages of clean up." |
