Milwaukee County Storm Recovery Resources

From April 13, 2026 until April 23, 2026, Wisconsin was hit with extreme storms, tornados, and flooding that caused damage to the community. On May 22, 2026, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers requested a disaster declaration from President Trump, including a request for Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Individual Assistance for affected residents and families in 19 counties and one Tribal Nation.

On June 30, 2026, the President approved the Major Disaster Declaration for the State of Wisconsin. Milwaukee County was approved to receive Individual Assistance for residents affected by the storms in April.
