Dear
Friends,
My
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
all
West
Virginians
who
have
been
impacted
by
the
severe
flooding
throughout
our
state,
especially
those
who
have
lost
or
are
missing
loved
ones.
Today,
I
visited
Greenbrier
County,
and
some
of
the
hardest
hit
areas
in
southern
West
Virginia,
to
help
ensure
those
affected
have
the
resources
they
need.
I
have
been
in
constant
contact
with
Governor
Tomblin,
local
officials,
FEMA
and
other
emergency
responders
about
flood
response
and
public
safety
in
the
44
counties
under
a
State
of
Emergency.
My
staff
and
I
will
continue
working
throughout
the
weekend
to
help
those
who
have
been
displaced
or
are
in
need
of
assistance.
For
the
latest
emergency
response
information,
or
to
find
a
local
emergency
response
office,
please
visit
the
West
Virginia
Division
of
Homeland
Security
and
Emergency
Management’s
website here.

like
to
help
those
impacted
by
the
flooding,
you
can

Cross

The
Red
Cross
is
also
maintaining
a
hotline,
1-800-REDCROSS,
and
a
list
of
shelters
is
available here
for
those
in
need
of
assistance.
Volunteer
West
Virginia
has
offered
the
following
information
about
how
to
help:
I
will
be
regularly
updating
my Twitter
and Facebook
pages
throughout
the
weekend
with
more
information.
Please
stay
safe
and
keep
all
of
those
impacted
in
your
prayers.
Sincerely,
Shelley
Moore
