Statement

Issues: National Security Environment

U.S. Representative Sam Graves (MO-06) issued the following statement in response to flood events occurring across North Missouri. With River Flood Warnings in place from Kansas City to Hannibal, multiple organizations and agencies are making resources available to those affected by possible flooding.

"Missourians spend hours and hours doing the hard work that is necessary to prepare for potential flooding, but unfortunately our efforts are sometimes not enough," Rep. Graves said. "Floods have a painful impact on entire communities, but they are particularly devastating for those directly affected by rising waters, damaged homes, and destroyed crops."

"With Flood Warnings in place across North Missouri on both the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, I want everyone to be aware of the resources that are available in case a significant flooding event occurs," Rep. Graves continued. "My thoughts and prayers are with all of those in harm's way."
