Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is requesting a Major Disaster Declaration from President Trump. The governor states in a letter sent on Friday, "The destruction caused by these tornadoes is devastating. The Arkansans who lost their homes, businesses, and loved ones in this storm need help to get back on their feet and rebuild." Sanders is requesting Individual Assistance and U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loans for Greene, Hot Springs, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Randolph, Sharp and Stone counties. She is also requesting hazard mitigation statewide.
