The Osage Nation has allocated nearly $500,000 to help Barnsdall in their time of need. $120,000 will be used to help with immediate relief funds and an additional $350,000 will be used to help with Osage Nation Housing. These funds will assist the entire community of Barnsdall.

Assistant Principal Chief RJ Walker declared a State of Emergency for the Osage Nation a day after the tornado hit Barnsdall. Additionally, the Osage Casino and Hotel provided rooms to those in need. That totaled an additional $16,000 in fees.
