Patrick Morrisey: “We can't take that back, but we can honor their memory by coming together and doing everything we can to help remaining…”

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for people to work and collaborate with us because our submission to FEMA is only as good as what comes in our way from individual citizens and communities.

We will be listening. We need to listen to learn about all the challenges that families are facing, and we know one of the big challenges that they’re facing deals with clean water.

This is a time for West Virginians to come together to do everything possible, not only to pray for all those who are affected, but we're going to need a lot of help in the days and weeks ahead.

It’s very difficult and so heartbreaking to see what happens in some of these individual circumstances, and it’s awful, and we should try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
