MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee County residents who experienced damage from the storms between April 13 – 23, 2026 are now eligible to apply for FEMA Individual Assistance. 

In April, southeast Wisconsin experienced widespread flooding and damage, reminiscent of the August 2025 flooding. With cars being left in floodwaters and homes being damaged, Governor Evers declared a state of emergency. 

“Thank you to Governor Evers and Wisconsin’s Congressional Delegation for advocating on behalf of Wisconsin communities,” said County Executive Crowley. "Many Milwaukee County residents hadn't even finished recovering from the August 2025 floods when the April storms hit. I’m grateful they now have access to these federal resources to help them rebuild and move forward."

Those affected can apply for assistance here. 

Residents who sustained losses and damage to their homes during the storms that occurred April 13-26, 2026, are eligible.

Impacted residents may also call FEME at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).

The deadline to apply is August 31, 2026.
