5-7-2007 Bush promises help for Kansas town flattened by tornado
US President George W. Bush on Sunday vowed to deliver federal aid to rebuild a tornado-ravaged town in Kansas where at least 10 people were killed by a wave of giant twisters.
The president's offer of help came as rescue teams scoured the rubble of schools, homes and shops in a bid to find survivors after the storm flattened the small southwestern Kansas community of Greensburg on Friday, killing eight people and injuring more than 60.
Two other people were dead as a result of storms in other nearby communities, media reports said.
"I'm confident this community will be rebuilt. To the extent we can help, we will," the president said
Bush hailed the "pioneer spirit" that built the Midwest, and which he said Kansans would draw upon to rebuild, with government support.
"It's going to take a long time for the community to recover. And so we'll help in any way we can," the US president said.
The White House said the disaster declaration makes federal funding available to affected individuals across Kiowa County, where Greensburg is located, for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other relief
