The municipal leaders filled out applications during a morning meeting, said FEMA spokesman Michael Skeels.
The total extent of the damage to municipal property was not available, but La Crosse Emergency Management Coordinator Keith Butler estimated municipal damage at $302,000 earlier this month.
Federal dollars typically cover 75 percent of the costs, with the remainder split between state and local funds, Skeels said.
Homeowners, renters and business owners who had storm and flood-related damage are reminded to register or update their information to the Federal Emergency Management Agency by calling 1-800-621-3362 or visiting www.fema.gov.
They can receive information about Small Business Administration disaster loans and get help with the application process by calling 1-800-659-2955 or by visiting the SBA Web site at www.sba.gov.
A disaster recovery center has been set up at the St. Joseph’s Ridge School, W2621 Hwy. 33, La Crosse.
The application deadline is Aug. 13.
