WASHINGTON – FEMA announced today that federal disaster assistance
is available to the Crow Tribe to supplement recovery efforts in the
areas affected by the severe storm and straight-line winds that
occurred on Aug. 6, 2024. 

The President’s action makes federal funding available to affected
individuals of the Crow Tribe. Assistance can include grants for
temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured
property losses and other programs to help individuals and business
owners recover from the effects of the disaster. 

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard
mitigation measures for the Crow Tribe.

James R. Stephenson has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer
for federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional
designations may be made at a later date if requested by the Tribal
Nation and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.

Residents and business owners who sustained losses in the designated
areas can begin applying for assistance by registering online at
www.DisasterAssistance.gov [https://www.disasterassistance.gov/], by
calling 1-800-621-3362 or by using the FEMA App

use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned
telephone service or others, give FEMA the number for that service.
