Disaster Recovery Centers offer in-person help!

by

Were you denied after applying for services from FEMA?? We STRONGLY encourage you to appeal that decision!

Continue to read all the documents from FEMA CAREFULLY. Some people may have been denied due to missing documents, which is fairly easy to fix.

The Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) located at MAS is there to HELP. Please visit them; they can help explain some documents that are confusing or hard to understand.

Tribal members are strongly encouraged to visit the DRC and find out information on what is available for them.

Even IF you SEE nothing wrong or no damage, please visit the DRC and speak to the professionals. FEMA is here on the reservation to HELP US.

Veterans: Did you serve here?

by

The PACT Act is a law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve. And starting March 5, 2024, we’re expanding VA health care to millions of Veterans—years earlier than called for by the PACT Act.

Here is a map of the areas covered by the PACT ACT.
