Raleigh, NC:  Sen. Tom McInnis (R-Richmond) released a statement on Thursday after receiving an update on disaster declaration requests for Moore, Richmond, and Scotland Counties in response to Hurricane Florence:

“I’m pleased to hear that Governor Cooper has requested a major disaster declaration for Moore, Richmond, and Scotland counties. I am optimistic that the Federal Emergency Management Agency will quickly grant this request so that our citizens affected by Hurricane Florence can gain access to critical FEMA services necessary to get them back on their feet and begin the recovery process of rebuilding their communities. I hope that Anson and Stanly counties will be included in the next round of requests so they too can get the help they need.”
