flag Wisconsin proposes $30M disaster relief fund after floods, with grants up to $25K for individuals and $50K for businesses.

flag Wisconsin lawmakers are pushing a bipartisan bill to create a state-funded disaster relief program offering up to $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for businesses affected by disasters like the August floods that damaged 1,500 homes in Milwaukee. flag The program, which would activate after a governor declares a state of emergency, aims to fill gaps left by federal aid, especially after the Trump administration denied broader FEMA assistance for several counties despite over $26 million in damage. flag Funded through a proposed $30 million allocation, the grants—administered by the Department of Military Affairs—would be retroactive to January 1, 2025, with applications processed within 14 days and funds disbursed within 90 days. flag Recipients must repay state grants if they later receive federal or insurance support. flag The bill has broad bipartisan backing and is expected to advance in both chambers.
