LITTLE ROCK (KATV) Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced on Tuesday that she had requested a 100 percent federal cost share for state and local clean-up.
"Ive been across our state since Friday, surveying damage, meeting with survivors, and discussing recovery efforts with local leaders, emergency personnel, and volunteers. Its clear that the cost to clean up the damage those storms created will be substantial," said Governor Sanders. "The federal government is currently covering 75 percent of all costs incurred during our recovery process, but that arrangement must go further to help Arkansans in need. Today, Im asking the federal government to cover 100 percent of all our recovery expenses during the first 30 days after the storm."

"We have even had some of our linemen who have had to physically carry wire and power poles into those areas, and those power poles are very heavy, and they are not easy to manipulate," said Hinkle.
Hinkle said putting up power poles is a task that usually takes Entergy crews around two hours to complete, but because of the severity of the damage left behind, the task now takes the crews anywhere from 8 to 10 hours.
