North Dakota to receive federal funding for disaster relief following November severe storm

(Bismarck, ND) --  North Dakota is receiving recognition for a natural disaster that hit the state late last year.

The Biden Administration declared North Dakota was hit by a severe winter storm between November 9th to 11th, and will be sending federal assistance to help local, state, and tribal entities. Federal officials say the conditions in Dickey, Kidder, Mercer, Nelson, Ransom, Sargent, and Wells counties were hit the hardest.

"Last night, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. declared that a major disaster exists in the State of North Dakota and ordered Federal assistance to supplement state, tribal, and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by a severe winter storm, snowstorm, and straight-line winds from November 9 to November 11, 2022, " said a statement released from the Biden administration. 

U.S Senators Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven have shared their support for the disaster declaration previously, saying they appreciate the efforts of local and state officials who are helping the communities affected recover from the severe storm.
