Hello City, County, and Tribal Officials:

Welcome to the South Dakota Department of Health’s online application for funding to help prevent West Nile Virus. Awards will be made on a reimbursement basis only for mosquito control expenditures between April 1, 2024 and October 31, 2024. All mosquito control equipment and supply purchases must be documented with appropriate receipts or invoices. Please note all eligible expenditures must be completed by October 31, 2024 and all requests for reimbursement must be completed by November 30, 2024. Total reimbursements will not exceed the amount of your total award. You will be notified of your award amount when the agreements are sent out for signature. Total award amounts will still be based upon your jurisdiction’s history of human West Nile virus cases and latest population data.

Thank you for your work to prevent West Nile virus. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Julie Ramsey with the Department of Health at 605-773-8107.

Kaitlin Thomas, SD DOH
