The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has awarded just over $846,000 to North Dakota nearly a year after severe storms, tornadoes and straight line winds on June 20 and 21, 2025.
This was the same weekend a derecho traveled the length of the state, and an EF5 tornado struck rural Enderlin. Four people were killed in the storms.
The money supports repairs and debris removal across the state. The following projects will be supported:
$331,809.26 to Kidder County to repair and replace embankment, signage, surfaces and other damages.
$244,405.18 to the City of Jamestown, to fund jurisdiction-wide debris removal.
$167,951.61 to the Pingree-Buchanan School District to fund building exterior repair and replacement.
$101.692.50 to Valley City State University to fund replacement or repair of athletic fields, covered shelters and lighting.
North Dakota’s congressional delegation wrote to President Trump, asking that he approve a major disaster declaration submitted by Governor Kelly Armstrong.
The governor’s request was sent July 21, 2025, just one month following the storms.
