A Federal Emergency Management Agency in-person support team will host office hours in
Kenosha County next week to assist residents who experienced property damage and losses due
to the severe storms and flooding that occurred April 13-23, County Executive Samantha
Kerkman announced today.
Office hours will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday — July 20, 22,
and 24 — at the Sharing Center, 25700 Wilmot Road (Highway C) in Trevor.
FEMA and U.S. Small Business Administration staff will be available to help affected
individuals and households apply for assistance and low-interest loans, answer questions about
current applications, and make referrals to other community resources. They may also address
immediate and emerging needs that survivors may have.
Appointments are not required. Residents of any of the 19 Wisconsin counties included in a
recent Presidential Disaster Declaration are invited to attend. This includes Racine County, but
not Walworth County.
People with homeowners, renters, or flood insurance are advised to file a claim before applying
for FEMA assistance, as FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance.
Federal assistance may be available for those whose insurance does not cover all disaster
expenses.
While FEMA staff will be available in person to assist with disaster aid applications, residents
may also file an application online, at https://www.disasterassistance.gov.
Those who need additional information or additional help may contact the FEMA Helpline at
800-621-3362 for assistance in multiple languages.
The deadline to apply for FEMA assistance is Aug. 31, 2026.
