Officials with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of South Dakota are still trying to assess the damage from a fire and flood that claimed a community center and affected some roads and bridges.
The loss of the Okreek Community Center means the local post office and meal program will have to find new homes. A temporary kitchen has been set up at the Okreek Elementary School.
No homes were damaged but one family had to be evacuated during the June 8 storm.
