Press Release: Friday Evening Storm Update

June 27, 2025

Additional resources are arriving to assist with debris removal and cleanup. Team Rubicon will be arriving next week to augment resources with debris removal. Members of Team Rubicon can be identified by their signature grey shirts that display “Team Rubicon” on them. They will be driving rental vehicles so their cars do not have any markings on them. When they contact individuals who have requested assistance, their phone number will display a Texas caller ID.

United Way of Bemidji and Community Resource Connections are providing services and resources to connect volunteers and those in need. This can include debris clearance among a variety of other services. Volunteers able to assist should call 218-444-8929 or visit unitedwaybemidji.org/disaster-recovery. If you need assistance or resources call 218-333-0880 or visit crcinform.org. Beltrami County is committed to ensuring that residents affected by the storm have access to the essential support they need. Visit the Beltrami County website and navigate to Public Health or call 218-333-8140.

The Demolition Landfill and the Target site will remain open 7am-7pm through July 3, including Saturday and Sunday. They will be closed on July 4^th. The sites will open 7am-7pm July 5 and 6. The Target site is NOT accepting commercial haulers and they must go to the Demolition Landfill. The Pine Products debris site stopped accepting debris today.

Beltrami County Emergency Management would like to thank all of the assisting agencies who have been supporting our disaster response. In the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) we had assistance from Lake of the Woods County Emergency Management and Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management. As we are transitioning from emergency response to recovery, our EOC will be standing down for the weekend, back open on Monday. The numbers above for volunteers and those in need are the numbers to contact.
