Governor Steve Sisolak has asked for a Major Disaster Declaration for the state of Nevada from President Donald Trump.
The declaration would bring more federal assistance to the state and give access to a number of federal programs to help with everything from unemployment to crisis counseling and mass care.
There is no word on when the president will act on the request.
