Reno, NV – U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada received an aerial tour and briefing in Fernley, Nevada today. Reid was joined on the tour by representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and state agencies. 

"I am very grateful for the overwhelming amount of support that is being shown in Fernley right now," said Reid. "Nevada's first responders are working side by side with federal and state agencies to provide relief to those in need. I hope that this partnership will be successful in helping those affected by the levee break return to their homes in a safe and reasonable amount of time."
