“For more than 150 consecutive days, historic and unprecedented spring floods and severe storms plagued communities across our state, and first responders did an incredible job protecting life and property,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “However, seven families experienced the ultimate tragedy when their loved ones perished due to this natural disaster. This flood tore children from their homes, severely restricted key transportation lifelines and decimated local economies – and it may take years for some communities to fully recover. I respectfully request the full resources of the federal government be brought to bear in response to this emergency. Our communities deserve every opportunity to rebuild, and be even stronger and more resilient than before.”
