The threat of serious flooding has subsided on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana but tribal officials are still prepared for the worst as damages from a recent snowstorm continue to be tallied.

An estimate so far is $1 million. Cattle destroyed fluctuated, with a high figure of 3,100 cited by one tribal official and a low of 100 cited by another.

Montana Gov. Judy Martz authorized emergency response measures for the reservation and surrounding areas.
