Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez encourages Navajo families that incurred expenses related to Covid-19 to apply through FEMA for financial assistance

"Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have lost more than 1,262 of our people to Covid-19 on the Navajo Nation. The pandemic has brought grief and financial burden for many of our Navajo families, but it has also made us stronger and resilient," Nez said. "We are also in the process of working with FEMA to establish a system where our Navajo people can apply in-person if they are unable to apply by phone. We will provide more information."
