BISMARCK – U.S. Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and John Hoeven (R-ND) and Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) issued the following statement after the President approved Governor Doug Burgum’s request for a major disaster declaration covering the severe winter storms that took place from November 9-11, 2022. The request for federal natural disaster and mitigation resources was on behalf of Dickey, Kidder, Mercer, Nelson, Ransom, Sargent, and Wells counties.
“November’s severe storms created truly hazardous conditions with record-breaking snowfall and high-speed winds that not only made travel and access for emergency services challenging, but cut power and heat to thousands of North Dakotans,” wrote the delegation. “We appreciate the efforts of Governor Burgum, state and local officials, and local utility providers to assist communities in both recovering from these damaging storms and protecting against future disasters.”
