Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin is requesting a federal disaster declaration in the wake of a series of earthquakes that rumbled through the state in November.
Fallin made the formal request on Nov. 22 to help individuals, families and businesses in Lincoln and Pottawatomie counties, where the earthquakes and aftershocks have been centered. Early damage estimates show that nearly 200 homes and businesses in those two counties were damaged.
If approved, the Federal Emergency Management Agency program provides grants and low-interest loans to homeowners, renters and business owners affected by the earthquake.
