U.S. President Donald Trump announced on September 1 via social media that he has informed Senator Roger Marshall, who has his "Complete and Total Endorsement," of the approval of $13.2 million and $7.3 million in separate grants to aid the people of Kansas recovering from two storms that hit the state this summer.
Trump stated that the funds are intended to help the "wonderful people of Kansas" recover from the severe winds, tornadoes, and flooding caused by the storms. He wrote: "Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
The aid package, announced directly by the President, underscores the federal government's rapid response to natural disasters. The extreme weather events in Kansas this summer have caused significant damage to local communities and infrastructure, though specific damage assessments and funding allocation details have yet to be released.
