“The number of applications received in these two areas has declined, and we feel that the majority of those needing assistance have taken advantage of these centers’ services,” said Dolph Diemont who heads up FEMA’s disaster response and recovery in Wisconsin.
Those with questions can still call FEMA at 1-800-621-3362.
The centers were opened in Vernon and Crawford counties after the Kickapoo River watershed flooded after heavy rains on June 6-7. In Vernon County, severe flooding occurred in Ontario,
La Farge, Viola and Readstown. County officials have said damage from the flood may total $75 million.
To date the disaster recovery center in Viroqua has aided 160 FEMA aid applicants, while the center in Soldiers Grove had helped 100 FEMA aid applicants.
