ST. PAUL, Minn. – Governor Tim Walz asked President Joe Biden for flood disaster relief moneys for communities to remove debris, proceed with emergency protective measures, and repair and rebuild damaged infrastructure. Walz made the request after an aerial tour with Senator Amy Klobuchar of hard-hit Henderson, Le Sueur and Waterville and the disabled Rapidan Dam. State and local agencies, meanwhile, are making preliminary damage assessments to support the request for federal assistance.
