In a push to get relief to those still grappling with the aftermath of severe storms and flooding, Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic and Alderman Mark Chambers Jr. are calling on Wisconsin residents to take immediate action and apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) aid. According to the City of Milwaukee's recent statement from the council members' offices, nearly $30 million in FEMA Individual Assistance funds have been allocated to assist residents of the affected counties.
For those whose homes have sustained damage or losses due to the recent floods, the race is on to get financial assistance, with the process being first-come, first served; available resources are set to be distributed in the order applications are received. Registration for FEMA support can be completed online at DisasterAssistance.gov, or folks can opt to call the FEMA helpline directly at 1-800-621-3362, and the service is operational from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, for those who may have questions or require guidance through the application procedure.
Council members are urging residents affected by last month’s storms and floods to apply for FEMA assistance immediately. Funding is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants can visit the FEMA website or call the helpline to get help. This aid is crucial for families and individuals still dealing with flood damage.
