“The storm in early July wreaked havoc in communities across New Hampshire, causing significant property damage and taking a financial toll on Granite State families and businesses. I am pleased that the Trump Administration has acknowledged the need for federal assistance to support state and local recovery efforts underway. I urge the Trump Administration to distribute the funding as quickly as possible to ensure that members of affected communities have the resources they need to fully recover from this emergency.”
