Statement
from
Detroit
Mayor on
President
Biden's
Disaster
Declaration
|
|
|
|
| |
President
Joe
Biden
delivered
great
news to
the
people
of
Detroit
and
southeast
Michigan.
We are
really
pleased
the
presidential
disaster
declaration
for the
June
25-26
flooding
was
issued
in half
the time
of the
August
2014
declaration,
allowing
Detroiters
to get
help
much
more
quickly.
I want
to thank
Governor
Gretchen
Whitmer
and the
Michigan
State
Police
Emergency
Management
&
Homeland
Security
for
responding
quickly
and
working
with the
City of
Detroit
to
prepare
for the
declaration.
I also
want to
thank
FEMA
Region 5
Manager
Kevin
Sligh,
Sr. who
has been
hands-on
from the
beginning.
The City
will
support
FEMA
setting
up
operations
in
Detroit
immediately.
The
effort
will be
led by
COO
Hakim
Berry,
Deputy
Chief of
Staff
Elisa
Malile
and
Detroit
Water &
Sewerage
Department
(DWSD)
Director
Gary
Brown.
Residents
and
businesses
with
flood
damage
should
immediately
apply
for FEMA
reimbursement.
Even if
you
completed
the DWSD
claim
form
online
or by
mail,
you
still
need to
apply to
FEMA and
you can
start
the
process
at
www.DisasterAssistance.gov
or by
call 800-621-FEMA
(3362).
In the
meantime,
anyone
with
flood
damage
should
get
debris
out of
their
basement
and to
the curb
for DPW
bulk
pick up.
You
should
also
have
your
basement
cleaned
and
sanitized.
Keep
receipts,
photos
of
damage
and
other
supporting
documents.
FEMA
provides
reimbursement,
not
cleaning
services,
and
therefore
don’t
wait any
longer.
