FEMA pressed on flood relief for individual homeowners
Milwaukee
Mayor Tom Barrett pressed the city's case for federal disaster relief for
individual homeowners Friday, stressing in a letter to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency that
basement water damage can add up to major damage
in Milwaukee homes.
Federal guidelines give greater consideration to damage to first floors of homes or above. Basement damage warrants a lesser "affected" designation, and much of the damage to Milwaukee homes from the July 22 storms was to basements. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
