Every county in Senate District 28 that I represent has now been declared a disaster area by FEMA.
Here is a release from Governor Doyle’s office:
Governor Doyle Announces Six More Counties Added to Disaster Declaration
MADISON – Governor Jim Doyle today announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has declared a state of disaster for Adams, Calumet, Green Lake, Jefferson, La Crosse, and Walworth counties.
“FEMA is working hard to expand individual assistance to people across southern Wisconsin who have been hit hard by floods and severe weather,” Governor Doyle said. “I thank them and all those who are working together to recover and rebuild. We are committed to getting people the help they need.”
Governor Doyle declared a state of emergency in 30 counties after severe weather this month brought record floods and other damage across southern Wisconsin. FEMA is in ongoing damage assessments in those counties to make disaster declarations.
