Ameren Missouri is actively working to restore power and rebuild damaged energy infrastructure following severe storms and tornadoes that struck the region on May 16. Approximately 2,400 workers from Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, and Oklahoma are involved in the restoration efforts. The company is coordinating with local officials and emergency management agencies to assess damage and expedite recovery.

Governor Mike Kehoe provided an update on the recovery efforts, highlighting the widespread destruction caused by the storms. The Missouri State of Emergency declaration remains in effect, allowing for swift response and coordination among first responders, road crews, and emergency management officials. Kehoe has requested a federal Emergency Declaration to support state response operations and expedite federal assistance.

The federal Emergency Declaration, if approved, would provide an immediate infusion of funds to support emergency protective measures and debris removal. Additionally, Kehoe has requested joint Preliminary Damage Assessments to prepare for a federal Major Disaster Declaration, which would provide Individual Assistance to homeowners and renters, and Public Assistance to local governments for emergency response costs and infrastructure repair.
