Trump approves emergency measures for Hurricane Harvey
US President Donald Trump
Washington - Egypt Today
US President Donald Trump issued a federal emergency declaration on Monday for five parishes in southwest Louisiana: Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis and Vermillion. More areas can be added later, ABC News reported
A White House statement said the action authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts. The declaration also authorizes the federal government to cover 75 percent of costs of certain emergency protective measures.
Bands of heavy rain from Harvey lashed southwest Louisiana on Monday, and the state's governor said potential flooding could pose a "dangerous situation."
Gov. John Bel Edwards told reporters he expects the potential for flood damage to increase as the rain continued to pummel the area.
