The disaster declaration comes as a result of flooding, severe storms and ground saturation, which occurred between March 2 and July 18, 1998.
Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures.
Communities and some non-profit agencies in Cass, LaMoure and Walsh counties also are eligible to receive funds for debris removal, emergency services related to the disaster and repair or replacement of damaged public facilities, such as roads, buildings and utilities.
