U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.

“This funding will be critical in helping our communities to prevent or lessen the impact of future floods, such as the ones our state experienced in recent years. As a leader on the Appropriations Committee, I have fought to make sure our state’s needs are reflected in budget and funding agreements, and these resources are just another example of how West Virginia will benefit from federal resources. While I hope similar flooding never occurs again, we should be diligent and prepared for future disasters. I know these resources will go a long way in helping West Virginia lessen the effect of any future disasters.”
