Governor Tony Evers is requesting a presidential disaster declaration for all 72 of Wisconsin’s counties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a letter to FEMA, Evers wrote, “the response to this virus has required a tremendous response from the state and all of its communities that far exceeds the resources currently available to us.” Evers also said, “this outbreak has caused multiple deaths, resulted in record unemployment claims, and taken a toll on the community infrastructure that is in place to protect the public.” He’s seeking federal funds to support several programs including Public Assistance, Direct Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, Individual Assistance and Community Disaster Loans.
