Relief For Flood Victims On Its Way

Individuals in southern Minnesota affected by heavy rains and flooding in September will receive aid.

Dayton appealed FEMA’s original decision that denied individual assistance. President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in Minnesota after Dayton’s request last month.
