Dear John,
If you are a WI-05 constituent affected by the floods and need help navigating federal assistance, please contact my Oconomowoc District Office at (262) 784-1111. Information on additional resources from FEMA and SBA are listed below.
FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers:

At a DRC, you can get help applying for federal assistance, speak to representatives from county, state and federal agencies, receive updates on your FEMA application for assistance and learn about the appeals process. The deadline to apply is November 12, 2025.

After applying, create an online account at DisasterAssistance.gov to check your status tracker for updates and upload documents requested by FEMA to move your application forward.
SBA Business Recovery Centers
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced two Business Recovery Centers (BRCs) will be open in Washington and Waukesha counties to assist businesses, private nonprofits, and residents affected by severe storms and flooding occurring Aug. 9-12, 2025.
The declaration covers primary Wisconsin counties of Milwaukee, Washington and Waukesha; which are eligible for both Physical Damage Loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) from the SBA. Small businesses and most private nonprofit (PNP) organizations in the following adjacent counties are eligible to apply only for SBA EIDLs: Dodge, Fond Du Lac, Jefferson, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan and Walworth.
Businesses and nonprofits are eligible to apply for business physical disaster loans and may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster-damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets.
Homeowners and renters are eligible to apply for home and personal property loans and may borrow up to $100,000 to replace or repair personal property, such as clothing, furniture, cars, and appliances. Homeowners may apply for up to $500,000 to replace or repair their primary residence.
Beginning Friday, September 26, and Monday, September 29, SBA customer service representatives will be on hand at the new BRCs in Washington and Waukesha Counties to answer questions about SBA’s disaster loan program, explain the application process and help individuals complete their application. Walk-ins are accepted, but you can schedule an in-person appointment in advance at appointment.sba.gov.
