WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement regarding the ongoing extreme weather across Nebraska:

“My office has heard from Nebraskans across the state, including impacted producers and businesses — should Nebraska need federal assistance, our delegation will be ready to support those requests. But, while property and other losses can be replaced, we can’t make up for lost loved ones, so please follow the advice of local officials, and keep yourselves and neighbors safe as dangerous conditions continue for the next several days. I’m deeply grateful for the hard work of our emergency responders, snow plow operators, and law enforcement officers through this challenging time.”
