Rural Nebraska — on a par with the entire territory of Puerto Rico. Your townsfolk better get used to it.
Puerto Rico’s governor Rosselló made a disaster declaration for the Commonwealth. Our own state governor didn’t for us (it didn’t affect him personally).
Last year a tornado hit another city in my county (Bayard, population 800). Our state senator, Steve Erdman (R-NE47) made sure to get the governor to declare a disaster right away (because Bayard is his home). Us over here on the other side of the county? Doesn’t affect him so he doesn’t care.
