I do not understand why you would exclude Pulaski County and Radford City from the emergency declaration following Hurricane Helene.
My home and those of my neighbors was under 20 feet of water. Our community is devastated. The entire NRV is under a boil water advisory, bottled water is scarce, power is unreliable.
People are suffering.
You can still extend the declaration to include Radford and Pulaski. We need your help and the federal government's help. People have lost EVERYTHING all up and down the New River. Radford alone was under more than 30 feet of water.
It looks like a war zone out here. Please extend the disaster declaration to include Pulaski and Montgomery Counties and Radford City so we can get the help we need.
