ABC Montana: Tester tours flood-damaged reservation
ROCKY BOY, Mont. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Jon Tester says he’ll work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies to help Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation recover from flood damage.
The Montana Democrat toured the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s reservation Saturday with three representatives of FEMA who were assessing damage as a first step to a possible presidential disaster declaration, which would bring in emergency money.
Tester is a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and the Homeland Security Committee, which oversees FEMA.
