Mayor Barrett & Gwen Moore fight for FEMA Aid
Individual assistance granted
On Sept. 18, FEMA announced Milwaukee residents will be eligible for individual aid following the July flooding. Originally, the state’s request for Individual Assistance was denied.
FEMA denied the state’s request for Individual Assistance because they deemed the damage insufficient to qualify for individual federal aid. In response to the denial, Mayor Barrett said, “We were all disappointed with FEMA’s initial decision, but we were not deterred.”
In the immediate aftermath of the July flooding, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett worked tirelessly with representatives from FEMA and other state and local officials to ensure that the citizens affected by the floods would receive assistance.
