Mike Kehoe has requested federal assistance following the flash flooding that hit southeast Missouri this month. The nearly $20 million in damage to Iron County alone exceeded FEMA's state threshold of $11.9 million, Kehoe said. This is the third federal disaster declaration request from Kehoe this year. Requested funding for severe storms that hit Missouri in early through mid-June is still pending. The Trump administration approved federal disaster relief funding almost a month after the May 2025 tornado in St. Louis.
