BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded $3,615,862 to the Burke-Divide Electric Cooperative. These resources will support repairs to its distribution system, which was damaged during a severe winter storm and flooding event from April 22-May 25, 2022.

The storm’s impacts on the electric infrastructure left many residents without power, posing an immediate threat to their health and safety. In response, the Burke-Divide Electric Cooperative used force account resources, rental equipment, and contract services to restore the distribution system to its pre-disaster design, function, and capacity.
