Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) made the following statement after FEMA amended Milwaukee ‘s disaster declaration following last summer’s flood to include individual assistance:
“When he was here on Labor Day, I spoke to President Obama about how our community is struggling to recover from the flooding and how much we need help.
“I am thrilled that FEMA saw what we have seen – the devastation and how much families are hurting – and is finally granting individual assistance.
“While this won’t fix every issue, it will help families rebuild or replace essentials and give a greater sense of security and safety before winter.”
