Congressman Smith said, “I saw the damage in Reynolds and Iron Counties firsthand, and pictures don’t do it justice. Families lost everything inside their homes, farmers and small business owners watched decades of hard work wash away in a matter of hours, and the sanctuary of a church that feeds over 100 families is now in ruins. These are good, hardworking people, and this kind of damage is more than any small, rural community can carry on its own. “I am grateful to President Trump for approving this request, and I want to thank every first responder, volunteer, and local leader who has stepped up for their neighbors through all of this. I’ll always fight to make sure Missourians get the support they need to rebuild in the wake of disaster.” Background: | 1 | 2026-09-04T09:19:37Z | 2026-09-04T09:20:58Z |
