LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska Lt. Gov. Mike Foley has asked the president for a federal disaster declaration in response to recent storm damage.
Foley submitted a formal request Friday on behalf of Gov. Pete Ricketts, who is in Europe for a trade mission.
The request extends to storm damage that occurred since May 2. Foley says the high winds, heavy rains and tornadoes have caused millions of dollars in damage to public infrastructure.
The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency says roads and bridges have been afflicted with the worst damage.
The counties of Cass, Dundy, Gage, Jefferson, Lincoln, Lancaster, Morrill, Nuckolls, Otoe, Saline, Saunders, and Thayer have all declared emergencies.
The request will be reviewed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's regional office in Kansas City before it's forwarded to the White House.
