Trump approves federal disaster aid for storms, flooding in 6 states
Los Angeles Times
|September 13, 2025
President Trump has approved federal disaster aid for six states and tribes following storms and floods that occurred this spring and summer.
FLOOD damage in July caused by Tropical Storm Chantal in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The disaster declarations, announced Thursday, will allow federal funding to flow to Kansas, North Carolina, North Dakota and Wisconsin, and for tribes in Montana and South Dakota. In each case except Wisconsin, it took Trump more than a month to approve the aid requests from local officials, continuing a trend of longer waits for disaster relief noted by a recent Associated Press analysis.
Trump has now approved more than 30 major natural disaster declarations since taking office in January. Before the latest batch, his approvals had averaged a 34-day wait from the time the relief was requested. For his most recent declarations, that wait ranged from just 15 days following an aid request for Wisconsin flooding in August to 56 days following a tribal request for Montana flooding that occurred in May.
