Maryland's request for federal disaster aid to deal with the cleanup costs of severe late January storms has been approved with President Clinton announcing the relief effort yesterday.
A dozen counties, and Baltimore City, will receive aid to replenish storm budgets depleted during the storms that occurred Jan. 25-30. In requesting the money, Maryland officials estimated needed funds at about $13 million.
Each jurisdiction -- the city plus Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Howard, Kent, St. Mary's, Montgomery, Prince George's, Queen Anne's and Talbot counties -- will apply individually for the money.
