I spoke to El Reno Mayor Matt White this morning. Our hearts are broken for the El Reno community as they continue to search through the rubble from last night's tornado. El Reno's fire fighters and first responders are doing an exceptional job, working through the night and into this morning displaying the #OklahomaStandard. Please keep this community in your prayers.

President Donald Trump has approved my request for an emergency declaration for 10 Oklahoma Counties.

We requested the first federal aid yesterday afternoon and the White House approved the request today less than 24 hours later!

Counties included in the emergency declaration are: Haskell, Kay, Le Flore, Muskogee, Noble, Osage, Pawnee, Sequoyah, Tulsa, and Wagoner.

The declaration authorizes federal resources to assist state and local governments as they continue to respond to the widespread, significant flooding. These resources may include industrial size generators, bottled water, cots and blankets.

State authorities will continue to assess the need for additional federal disaster aid to cover further response and recovery costs, including possible federal assistance for homeowners impacted by flooding. Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management is working with FEMA and local emergency management officials to secure all eligible assistance warranted by these dangerous floods.

Oklahoma remains under a statewide declaration of emergency.

Just took off from OKC to Muskogee to survey flooding and meet with local leaders, Emergency Management, and the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure state assets are best aligned as we continue to face historic flooding across Eastern Oklahoma‬
