Support Flood-Impacted Communities — and Help WV Prepare for the Future

Flash floods in northern West Virginia this weekend took lives and damaged homes, roads, bridges, and utilities. First responders rescued dozens of people. Families are grieving, rebuilding, and helping one another — just as West Virginians always do.

As we offer care and support to those directly impacted, we also know this: West Virginia needs more resources to help communities prepare and recover from catastrophic flooding.

Communities impacted by the February flood in Southern WV are still recovering, while communities in North Central WV have just begun the recovery process. We urgently need action at the state and federal levels to support their recovery and better prepare communities for the next disaster.

That's why we're asking you to send two messages to leaders today:

1. Ask West Virginia Leaders to fund the Flood Resiliency Trust Fund and prioritize it in the special session, a vital resource to help communities plan and protect against flooding that has never been funded.
2. Ask US Senators and Representatives to invest in continued disaster support and infrastructure investments in places most vulnerable to flooding.

These steps are how we care for one another — not just today, but for the long road ahead.
