Gov. Brad Henry (web|news) is seeking federal disaster
aid for 24 Oklahoma counties affected by severe storms, tornadoes
and flooding this month.
Henry asked President Bush (web|news|bio) for public assistance on Friday. If
approved, the designation would deliver federal funding to cities,
towns and counties with infrastructure repairs and costs incurred
while responding to the storms.
The events occurred between June 3 and June 20. The counties involved are Alfalfa, Beaver, Beckham, Blaine, Cotton, Custer, Dewey, Ellis, Garfield, Grant, Harmon, Harper, Jackson, Kay, Kiowa, Major, Okfuskee, Osage, Ottawa, Roger Mills, Rogers, Tillman, Washita and Woods.
The storms caused more than $9.6 million in infrastructure
damage and response costs. Henry says damage was mostly to roads,
bridges and rural electric cooperatives in the counties.
