The Obama administration has tapped the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to help lead the federal coordination of emergency efforts for Flint’s water crisis. President Barack Obama on Saturday declared a federal emergency, but not a major disaster, in Flint. The emergency finding frees $5 million in immediate aid with the possibility of more assistance. Health and Human Services officials will work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA is already working with Governor Snyder’s administration in helping coordinate help from other federal agencies.
