Progreso Becomes Second City to Declare Local Disaster Due to Flooding
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The announcement was made by municipal authorities following their first Emergency Management meeting, where current conditions were assessed, resources were coordinated, and response plans were reviewed to address the needs of residents. In this regard, the mayor signed a Local Disaster Declaration for Flooding, a measure that will allow the city to position itself to receive potential federal assistance through FEMA, state support, and other resources related to insurance processes, if available. With this measure, Progreso joins Weslaco, which also declared a disaster due to the heavy rains and flooding affecting the Rio Grande Valley.
