Millions flowing to help with Nevada flood recovery
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Federal financial assistance is starting to flow into Nevada to help defray an estimated $30 million in damage from two flooding events in much of the state in January and February.
The state Division of Emergency Management already has $4 million in authority from the federal government for the January flooding. On Thursday, the Legislature’s Interim Finance Committee will be asked to accept another $5.9 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for damage from the February flood.
