from Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin HERSETH SANDLIN STATEMENT ON PRESIDENTIAL DISASTER DECLARATION FOR PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS May 23, 2007, Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin issued the following statement on the president’s declaration that 10 South Dakota counties affected by recent storms qualify for individual federal disaster aid. Rep. Herseth Sandlin said, “While I wish the announcement would have come sooner, this individual assistance is a good first step and an important acknowledgment of the severity of the storms that hit a number of counties across South Dakota. The lives of thousands of South Dakotans have been affected and this individual assistance will be very important to help recovery. However, assistance for public repairs has yet to be released and I will continue to advocate with FEMA and the Administration for this additional help as our communities recover.”
