FEMA Approves More than $800,000 to Help Communities in North Dakota Recover from Recent Disasters

DENVER - This week, FEMA announced the approval of more than $800,000 in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance projects in North Dakota. This funding empowers states and local communities to recover from disasters and to rebuild more resilient, safer communities and protect infrastructure from future events. With this funding, President Donald J. Trump is keeping his promise to reform federal disaster support and ensure that taxpayer money is spent only on projects that deliver safety and security to the American people.

FEMA disburses this money to states and local communities because they are best positioned to know how these funds will be most effectively spent. The funded projects include repairs to critical infrastructure, restoration of public buildings, road repairs, and reimbursement for costs incurred to ensure public health and safety after severe storms impacted North Dakota in June 2025.

The most recent projects reimbursed through Public Assistance funding include:

• More than $422,000 to Minnkota Power Cooperative to fund the restoration of electrical transmission power systems that were damaged by severe storms.
• Nearly $400,000 to the University of Jamestown to fund repairs to the school's sports complex.

These projects are the latest examples of billions of dollars in disaster recovery provided by FEMA to support state and local communities as they work to rebuild from recent natural disasters.

FEMA continues its renewed commitment to help communities recover from disasters like hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and wildfires while making them more resilient from future disasters.
