The Trump administration has denied federal disaster assistance for several Wisconsin counties after severe flooding in August caused over 26 million dollars in damage.
Governor Tony Evers announced he will appeal the decision to ensure Door, Grant, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties receive necessary support. Governor Evers said the state is going to “fight tooth and nail” to ensure communities get every possible resource to rebuild and recover.
Showing you different sides, so you can decide, FEMA determined that the public assistance program was not warranted, despite significant impacts to individuals and households. Preliminary damage assessments by FEMA and Wisconsin Emergency Management confirmed the extensive costs.
