On July 10, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the state of Montana to supplement state, tribal and local recovery efforts in the areas struck by severe storms and flooding last month.
Federal funds are available to state, tribal and eligible local governments and some private non-profit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the storms and flooding in Hill County and the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, a press release issued by FEMA said.
Flooding damaged hundreds of homes on Rocky Boy’s reservation, home to the Chippewa Cree Tribe; the tribe’s water distribution infrastructure, leaving thousands without water temporarily; and the clinic.
