Lake Traverse Reservation – Renters and homeowners who had wind or water damage from the June 12-16 flooding, and are enrolled SWO tribal members, may be eligible for FEMA disaster assistance. The deadline to apply for disaster assistance is December 5, 2025. 

To see if you are eligible and to apply, visit FEMA at the Flood Assistance Center inside the Tribal Headquarters Building, 12554 BIA Highway 711, Agency Village. Hours: 8am to 4:30pm Monday-Friday (closed weekends and holidays).

If you need a ride, the tribe is providing free transportation through SWO Community Transport. Call 605-698-7511 and use code 4890 to schedule a ride. 

If you have questions, call the Flood Assistance Center directly at 605-776-6003.  

Recovery specialists from FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration are available to explain disaster assistance programs, help people complete the application for federal assistance, and get information on additional resources including low-interest disaster loans. FEMA disaster assistance is a grant, not a loan, and is usually direct-deposited into an applicant’s bank account.

_________________________________________________________________________

Disaster loans are available through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SBA offers long-term, low-interest direct federal loans to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes, and nonprofits to help fund repair and rebuilding costs not covered by insurance or other sources. There’s no need to wait for insurance settlements before applying—SBA disaster loans can help survivors rebuild and recover faster.
