FEMA Approves More Than $750,000 Funding to Help Communities Recover from Recent Disasters in South Dakota
FEMA announced the approval of more than $750,000 in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance projects across South Dakota state, city, and county departments. This program empowers states, local communities, tribes and territories to recover and 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, road repairs, and reimbursement for costs incurred to ensure public health and safety after a disaster. Examples of projects reimbursed through Public Assistance funding approved include: More than $347,000 to City of Rapid City for debris removal following straight-line wind damage. More than $278,000 to Gregory County to repair or replace road surfaces and base layers, culverts and embankments that were damaged by winter storms and flooding. More than $124,000 to South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks to repair or replace outlet structures and parts of earthen dams that were impacted by storms, tornadoes, and flooding. 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.
