FEMA approves request to
begin damage assessments
BISMARCK Gov. John
Hoeven has announced that the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency has approved his request
to begin Preliminary Damage
Assessments (PDAs) to document
losses and costs incurred as a
result of last month's severe win-
ter storm.
Hoeven requested the assess-
ments on Jan. 28, paving the way
for a Presidential Disaster
Declaration to ,help municipali-
ties, tribes and rural electric coop-
eratives (RECs) recover costs
associated with the storm.
"The initiation of the PDA
process brings us one step closer
to helping our communities and
state recover from the losses that
occurred as a result of January's
winter storm," Hoeven said in a
prepared statement. "We will con-
tinue to work with FEMA,
through .our Department of
Emergency Services, to help our
municipalities, tribes and rural
electric cooperatives recover from
this storm and receive reimburse-
ment for losses and damages."
The PDA process will begin on
Feb. 8 and should take about a
week to complete, according to
the governor's office. The process
will document the extent of
rnpact to cities, counties, tribes
and rural electric cooperatives
incurred in this storm.
The request was made as a
result of a statewide winter storm
that downed power lines and poles
"We will contin-
ue to work with
FEMA, through our
Department of
Emergency
Services, to help
our municipalities,
tribes and rural
electric coopera-
tives recover from
this storm and
receive reimburse-
ment for losses
and damages."
Gov. John Hoeven
primarily in the southwestern cor-
ner of North Dakota, leaving
about 6,200 households without
power. Most have since, been
restored with power.
The North Dakota Department
of Emergency Services requests
that those without power remain
vigilant about personal prepared-
ness and safety, and recommends
that generators are kept well away
from homes and outside of struc-
tures.
Carbon monoxide fumes are
deadly and can quickly over-
whelm.
Shown above is a downed power line in Slope County. While this pole is obvious to passers-
by, buried wires or the stubs of poles may not be, and electrical cooperatives advise snowmo-
bilers and ATV riders to be careful in these areas and right-of-ways. (Courtesy Photo)
RECs: LooKout for storm debris.
MANDAN - The North Dakota
Association of Rural Electric
Cooperatives (NDAREC) urges
snowmobilers and ATV operators to
take extra caution when riding in
power line right-of-ways, which
may contain leftover debris from the
January storm.
Wally Kalmbach, director of
safety for NDAREC, asks drivers
to slow down and exercise cau-
tion when traveling in ditches.
"The recent storm toppled
nearly 2,000 poles across the
state, scattering conductors,
cross-arms, poles and wire.
Because the damage is wide-
spread, some of the debris may
not be collected until spring," he
said.
Snowmobilers and ATV opera-
tors should be on the lookout for
broken pole stubs and other debris
that may be partially covered by
snow, the RECs advise.
NDAREC is the statewide trade
association for 16 local electric
cooperatives and five generation
and transmission cooperatives
operating in North Dakota.
