Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) on Wednesday requested funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for widespread flooding in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Emergency Management said that damage in southeastern Wisconsin met the federal threshold to receive disaster relief. The Milwaukee area saw more than 14 inches of rainfall in under 24 hours last week, resulting in large swaths of the area flooding.
