COLUMBUS, Ohio — Several Ohio counties that were significantly impacted by severe weather events this year will receive state funding, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Wednesday.

Authorized by DeWine , the State Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) will assist 12 counties which experienced damages meeting a countywide per capita indicator.

DeWine's authorization allows the Ohio Emergency Management Agency to request funding from the Ohio Controlling Board.
