"This expanded disaster declaration will help support the ongoing recovery efforts for all Texans impacted by recent severe storms and tornadoes that hit our state last week. The State of Texas continues working with state and local officials to deploy any additional resources needed as they quickly restore power and provide ongoing assistance to their fellow Texans as they begin to recover and rebuild. I thank all first responders and response personnel for their continued hard work and dedication to respond to storm damages and assist in the recovery efforts of Northeast Texas communities."
