President Donald J. Trump Approves Major Disaster Declaration for San Carlos Apache Tribe

WASHINGTON -- FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to eligible members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by severe storms and flooding from October 10-13, 2025.

The President's action makes federal funding available to affected individuals and families of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

The San Carlos Apache Tribe and certain private nonprofit organizations may also be eligible to receive federal funding on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms and flooding.

Andrew F. Grant has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the Tribal Nation and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.

Tribal members who sustained losses on or near the designated areas should first file a claim with their insurance provider.
