BISMARCK, N.D. (June 30, 2017\u00a0 CSi) \u2013 Gov. Doug Burgum Friday amended his June 22 Executive Order on drought assistance for livestock producers, expanding coverage by five counties in response to the June 29 U.S. Drought Monitor.<\/p>\n
The amendment provides aid to livestock producers through the Drought Disaster Livestock Water Supply Program (Program) overseen by the State Water Commission. The additional areas include counties designated as extreme drought classification, or \u201cD3,\u201d and adjacent counties, including: Stutsman,<\/strong> Logan, McIntosh, LaMoure and Dickey.<\/p>\n The amendment allows the State Water Commission to expand the number of counties eligible for the Program if additional areas are added to the D3 classification in the future. Gov. Burgum last week also activated the State Emergency Operations Plan and initiated intragovernmental support for drought planning and response activities through a unified command structure, which meets weekly to coordinate statewide resources and response activities.<\/p>\n \u201cA whole-of-government approach is critical to helping impacted communities as we face moderate to extreme drought conditions across the state,\u201d said Gov. Burgum. \u201cWe will continue to work proactively with state and federal partners to ensure affected individuals have access to the resources they need to protect livestock, crops and their livelihoods.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BISMARCK, N.D.
