Obama signs disaster declaration for 3 Maine counties
President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration on Thursday for Androscoggin, Cumberland and York counties related to the severe winter storm that brought snow and flooding to the state Jan. 26-28.
The Associated Press reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency indicated additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and supported by more damage assessments.
The declaration will allow the federal government to help state, local and tribal governments to repair or replace facilities damaged during the storm or pay for cleanup.
