Flood disaster aid deadline nears for ND residents

Flood victims in nine counties and an American Indian reservation in North Dakota have less than a month left to register for federal disaster assistance.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Flood victims in nine counties and an American Indian reservation in North Dakota have less than a month left to register for federal disaster assistance.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency says the application deadline is Sept. 22 for residents of Barnes, Benson, Burleigh, McHenry, Morton, Ramsey, Renville, Richland and Ward counties and the Spirit Lake reservation.

Loan applications to the U.S. Small Business Administration to cover disaster-related losses also should be submitted by that date.

Officials say federal and state disaster assistance tied to this year's flooding in North Dakota is nearing $300 million. Nearly 10,000 people have registered with FEMA.
