TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed a federal disaster declaration that will free up federal funds to help Kansas recover from recent spring storms.

The federal money will go toward repairing damage to infrastructure and services damaged by May and June storms that included tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding. Obama signed the disaster declaration Monday.

Federal funding is available for 42 Kansas counties--including locally Atchison, Brown, Doniphan, Jackson, Jefferson, Marshall, Nemaha and Pottawatomie.
