CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee County will open a Disaster Recovery Center Tuesday, July 21, for those impacted by April storms and flooding.
Those affected by the severe weather between April 13-23 will have a chance to talk to state and federal officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) about how to get help applying for government assistance.

Those visiting the center can enter through the front entrance and take the stairs down to the lower level, according to the county executive's office. Individuals unable to use stairs may enter through the back entrance and ring the doorbell for access to the elevator.
