DELMONT, S.D. (AP) — An information session and dinner is being held in Delmont for residents cleaning up from last month’s tornado.

The South Dakota Department of Public Safety said in a news release that the meeting on long-term disaster recovery is being held Thursday night at the Delmont Community Center. The discussion will focus on resources available to residents.

South Dakota officials said last week that a request for federal individual assistance was denied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Nine people were injured and 84 structures were damaged or destroyed in and around Delmont by the May 10 tornado. Volunteers are being invited to help with continuing cleanup efforts in Delmont on Friday and Saturday.
