Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. announced in a tweet that he had been in contact with Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, asking for the state to provide any assistance the people impacted might need.
&#8220;I have been in contact with Gov. @SarahHuckabee Sanders to request National Guard assistance with our response to the tornado emergency,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Again, please stay away from the affected areas to allow emergency responders access.&#8221;
Sanders&#8217; response was quick: &#8220;Here at the Capitol I just signed an executive order declaring that a State of Emergency exists in the State of Arkansas due to today’s severe weather. We will spare no resource to assist with response and recovery efforts for Arkansans impacted.&#8221;
