Missel signs county disaster declaration

dodge-county

Dodge County Board Chairman Bob Missel has signed a County Disaster Declaration for damage that occurred Friday during severe weather. The Dodge County Disaster Declaration has been submitted to the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency.

 

Local disaster declarations are made when the magnitude of the event has had, or is likely to have, a significant impact on local resources including personnel, equipment, and finances. Upon receiving the County’s Disaster Declaration, the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency will review damage costs and may submit it to the State Adjutant General.

When warranted, the disaster declaration is then forwarded to the Governor’s office. The declaration of a local or county emergency does not guarantee the availability of financial support by the Governor’s Emergency Fund or FEMA.

“The State has been very supportive in assisting our communities following local disasters,” Dodge County Emergency Management Director Tom Smith said.

 

Copies of the Disaster Declaration can be obtained at the County Clerk’s office.
