President Bush has declared a state of emergency in Ohio due to the record amount of snow that hit a large swath of the state from March 7 to March 9.
The White House says Bush declared the emergency Thursday and ordered federal aid be made available to 17 counties.
Cost-sharing funds are available to state and local governments in the counties of Ashtabula, Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Crawford, Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Geauga, Greene, Hardin, Huron, Lake, Morrow, Richland, Union and Wyandot.
The funds are to help with the costs of emergency protective measures used at the time of the snowfall.
