Calhoun County is one of 24 West Virginia counties in a disaster declaration, following recent flooding.
The declaration allows residents in those counties to apply for individual assistance grants, which are designed to help people recover some flood-related expenses.
The counties in the declaration are as follows: Boone, Braxton, Cabell, Calhoun, Clay, Fayette, Gilmer, Jackson, Kanawha, Lewis, Lincoln, Logan, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Nicholas, Putnam, Raleigh, Roane, Wayne, Webster, Wirt and Wyoming.
Governor Wise announced the disaster declaration yesterday, saying it's the first step in getting federal money for recovery efforts.
