Milwaukee County remains in recovery phase, launches new website with flood resources

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee County officials provided more guidance Thursday, for those recovering from last weekend's flooding. 

County Executive Crowley says the county remains in the recovery phase and officials are still assessing the full extent of the damage. Once that is complete, then they can file a report to the state for additional aid. 

Initial reviews do suggest Wisconsin will meet the threshold to receive federal aid and assistance. Any help the county can get could go a long way in recovery efforts. 

"If granted by the federal government, this will help us not only rebuild but it will help us recover at the same time," said County Executive Crowley. "It is my strong hope that the federal government will step in and provide resources our residents need."

Milwaukee County has launched a new website that offers important information, resources, and guidance. The website will be updated on a rolling basis and as recovery efforts continue.
