Gov. Perdue, Commissioner Troxler Survey Hurricane Damage with Secretaries Napalitano and Vilsack
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue and state Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler today joined U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to survey damage caused by Hurricane Irene last weekend.
“So many families and businesses have been devastated by this storm,” Perdue said. “Secretary Napolitano and Secretary Vilsack visited today to show that our federal partners are here to help, and I have urged them to expedite their assistance to our communities and our farmers.”
Preliminary county assessments indicate more than $70 million in damages to North Carolina alone.
On Monday, the governor requested a federal disaster declaration for Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Dare, Hyde, Pamlico and Tyrrell counties; more counties may be added later. Local, state and federal emergency management teams have been out in the communities assessing damages to homes and businesses. Emergency management officials expect to have more complete damage estimates by the end of the week. A federal disaster declaration would clear the way for low-interest federal loans and other assistance programs to help hurricane survivors recover from the storm.
President Obama issued a federal emergency declaration for 34 counties over the weekend approving them for federal financial assistance to help cover the costs of emergency protective measures for local governments. Those counties include: Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Columbus, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Duplin, Edgecombe, Halifax, Hyde, Gates, Greene, Hertford, Johnston, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, New Hanover, Nash, Northampton, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell, Wayne, Washington and
