Jordan:
Call Local Response Officials
For Emergency Flood Assistance

Washington, DC -- Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) encourages Fourth District residents affected by the area’s recent devastating flooding to contact their local disaster response officials for emergency assistance.

"Throughout this week, I’ve surveyed horrific flood damage all across our congressional district and seen firsthand the impact these terrible storms have had on area families and businesses," Jordan said. "While we continue to lay the groundwork for federal financial assistance to aid in the recovery, those with immediate needs should get in touch with their local Job and Family Services offices, American Red Cross chapters, and health departments at the numbers listed here."
