WASHINGTON, May 23 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday called Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to convey his condolences to those affected by a devastating tornado that killed at least 89 people there, and pledged federal help. According to the White House, Obama, who is on a European tour, called Nixon earlier in the morning, and assured the governor that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will remain in close contact and coordination with state and local officials. Obama has directed FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate to travel to Missouri to ensure the state has all the support it needs. In addition, in anticipation of requests for assistance, an FEMA Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) is en route to Joplin, the worst hit town. This self-sustaining team will work with FEMA officials already in Missouri to coordinate with state and local officials to identify needs and any shortfalls impacting disaster response and recovery. Along his trip, Obama "received multiple updates on the tornado damage," and he instructed his staff to keep him updated and to stay closely coordinated with state and local officials going forward. A massive storm system Sunday night dropped a devastating tornado into Joplin, a city of 50,000 people in the southwest corner of Missouri, killing at least 89 people and leaving churches, schools, and homes reduced to ruins.Obama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy CapObama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy CapObama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy CapObama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy CapObama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy CapObama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy CapObama pledges federal support to tornado hit missouri - Paper Fedora Hats - Baker Boy Cap I am an expert from ladies-churchhats.com, while we provides the quality product, such as Paper Fedora Hats , Baker Boy Cap, Ladies' Church Hats,and more.
