Jamestown (NDDES) The City of Jamestown was included in 75 state, local, and tribal governments selected for further review under the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services (NDDES) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
More than 75 entities submitted applications for available FEMA program funding in 2018. Approximately $18 million in North Dakota hazard mitigation projects were selected for further review under the federal agency’s Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM).
Through those programs, communities can receive a 75% cost share to implement projects that will prevent damages from natural hazards.
North Dakota Homeland Security Director, Cody Schulz says, “I congratulate our applicants on being selected by FEMA for further review and applaud their efforts in taking proactive measures to reduce or, in some cases, eliminate hazards and risks posed by potential disasters in their communities.”
NDDES recovery and mitigation chief, Justin Messner says, FEMA’s PDM program, which had a national budget of $250 million federal share in 2018, can be used to prevent damages from any type of natural hazard. The FMA program, which had a national budget of $160 million federal share, can only be used to prevent flood damages to properties or buildings that are insured by the National Flood Insurance Program.
Some of those projects include permanent flood protection for the City of Fargo’s water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, funding for 11 local multi-hazard mitigation plans in various locations across the state, and the stabilization of six riverbank locations along the James River in Jamestown.
Since 1997, a total of $253 million in local, tribal, state and federal funding has been leveraged for mitigation projects that have reduced the impacts of flooding, severe winter weather, severe summer weather and other hazards and threats in North Dakota.
According to a study by the National Institute for Building Standards, pre-disaster mitigation saves an average of $6 for every $1 spent. Additionally, the Pew Research Center recently identified that North Dakota saves an average of $6.55 for every $1 spent on mitigation projects.

Jamestown (NDDOT) – Law enforcement will have extra patrols to enforce the state seat belt law from July 1 to August 11 as part of the statewide Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation wants to remind drivers and passengers to buckle up for their own safety, and especially for the ones they love ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.
Survey data shows that eighty two percent of North Dakotans wear their seat belts; however, nearly 64% of motor vehicle fatalities to date this year in North Dakota were not wearing their seat belt at the time of the crash. It is those who do not wear their seat belts who are extremely vulnerable to the consequences of a crash.
All travelers should take personal responsibility and always wear their seat belt – every trip, every time.
“Click it or Ticket is a strategy to get vehicle occupants in the habit of buckling up, if they aren’t already,” says Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin. “Once you get in the habit of wearing a seat belt, it becomes a natural thing to do every time you get in a vehicle.”
This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
Visit the North Dakota Crash Memorial wall to view memorials built on the hope of preventing another death on North Dakota roads.

In sports…
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The Ralph Engelstad Arena at the University of North Dakota is preparing to unveil what it calls the largest video display in college hockey, a 50,000-pound scoreboard manufactured by South Dakota-based Daktronics.
The Engelstad Family Foundation, which has been at odds with recently departed school president Mark Kennedy over a basketball floor logo and other issues, has donated $4 million for the $6 million project. The remaining $2 million is coming out of the building’s long-term repair and building fund.
Arena manager Jody Hodgson says the idea to upgrade the video display was suggested by foundation trustee Kris Engelstad McGarry about a year and a half ago.
Hodgson says the four 34-feet wide by 15.5-feet high video boards complement “the original vision” of Ralph Engelstad, a former North Dakota hockey player.

In world and national news…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Russia’s national security adviser says Russian intelligence has determined that Iran shot down an American drone last week over Iranian airspace.
Nikolai Patrushev’s assessment contradicts U.S. claims that the aircraft was downed in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz.
Patrushev spoke to reporters after a three-way meeting with his Russian and Israeli counterparts in Jerusalem. He said Iran has not briefed Russia about the incident but that the Russian Defense Ministry has concluded the drone had entered Iranian airspace.
He says: “We have not seen any proof otherwise.”
President Donald Trump called off a planned U.S. reprisal in response to the shoot-down just minutes before it was to take place but has imposed new sanctions on Iran.
(AP) The U.S. government has removed most of the children from a remote Border Patrol station in Texas following reports that more than 300 kids were detained there and caring for each other with inadequate food, water and sanitation.
Rep. Veronica Escobar said 30 children were at the facility near El Paso as of Monday. Her office was briefed on the situation by an official with Customs and Border Protection.
Attorneys who visited the station in Clint, Texas last week said older children were trying to take care of infants and toddlers, The Associated Press first reported Thursday. Some had been detained for three weeks, and 15 children were sick with the flu.
It’s unclear where all the children have been moved. But Escobar said some were sent to another facility in El Paso.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Democratic registered voters are looking for a 2020 presidential candidate who has experience in elected office.
An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds that a whopping 73% of them cited experience as a quality that would make them more excited about supporting a presidential candidate. The poll shows that Democrats give a collective shrug to gender, race and age as factors they’re considering when supporting a candidate.
One Democratic voter, 50-year-old Benji Grajeda, of Santa Ana, California, said he was once excited at the idea that Hillary Clinton could become the first female president. Now he just wants stability.
He said he never thought about the importance of a candidate with experience in elected office until voters chose Donald Trump.
NEW YORK (AP) — The first Democratic presidential debate isn’t just big for the candidates. NBC News will also be watched closely to see how it performs.
The network has been reluctant to reveal details of how it will run the two-night, 20-candidate session, which starts Wednesday. It will air on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo.
The NBC News personalities onstage in Miami will be Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Jose Diaz-Balart, Rachel Maddow and Chuck Todd.
The network isn’t talking about topics on the agenda, which is typical. But it is also keeping under wraps details like time limits for answers or whether candidates get opening or closing statements.
NBC News executive Rashida Jones says the goal is to keep attention where it should be: on the candidates.
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police have released hundreds of files from the investigation into Jussie Smollett’s claim he was attacked by two men, including footage that shows the actor with his face blurred and wearing a white rope he told detectives his attackers looped around his neck.
Many files contain surveillance camera footage that police collected as they launched what was initially a hate crime investigation, as well as footage from what appears to be the route police have said the two brothers who participated in the staged January attack took to and from the scene.
The release is the latest chapter in a story that began with Smollett’s allegations that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. He was eventually arrested on charges that he lied to police, and prosecutors later dismissed the charges.
