Charleston, WV (WOAY) – Governor Patrick Morrisey announces that the Trump administration has approved his request for a cost-share adjustment with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

FEMA public assistance was approved in Greenbrier, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Monroe, Summers, Wayne, and Wyoming counties.
In response to the approval, Governor Morrisey states he is grateful to President Trump and his administration for continuing to step up and help West Virginians affected by February’s flooding.
