WASHINGTON-Thursday, United States President Donald J. Trump declared Utah’s petition for disaster declaration.

Friday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert tweeted his appreciation.

Thank you to @WhiteHouse & @FEMA for approving Utah’s Disaster Declaration. This will provide individuals in Davis and Salt Lake counties with federal funding to help recover from earthquakes this spring. More info at https://t.co/bPQ5K1r5ye

This action, per a statement from whitehouse.gov, allows residents of Davis and Salt Lake Counties to receive grants for temporary housing and home repairs.

This also includes low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to assist individuals and business owners recovering from effects of this disaster.

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation throughout the Beehive State.

Additional designations may be made at a later date if the state requests them and if warranted by the results of further damage assessements.
