In the Wake of Hurricane Harvey, Adams Calls for Support for those Impacted

Charlotte, N.C. — Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the following statement after Hurricane Harvey struck the coast of Texas and caused flooding, triggering a federal disaster declaration covering 18 counties in Texas.

"My thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by Hurricane Harvey," said Congresswoman Adams. "The flooding that overwhelmed south Texas following Harvey's landfall has impacted nearly 7 million Texans and caused millions in damages. During this difficult time we thank the many first responders, including the two Helo-Aquatic Rescue Teams traveling from North Carolina, who continue to prioritize the safety and rescue of others over their own wellbeing. I encourage all Texans to heed safety warnings and exercise caution as recovery from the storm continues."
