"I’ve toured the area and have witnessed firsthand the harm that this storm inflicted on our communities. However, Baltimore is all about coming together and supporting our neighbors in their time of need. I want to thank our partners for helping set up this Storm Recovery Assistance Event. Together we will ensure that our communities are able to bounce back stronger than ever."
