FEMA VISITS WASHINGTON COUNTY for DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS 

WEST BEND, WI – County Executive Josh Schoemann welcomed the FEMA team to Washington County this morning as they began their damage assessments.

Schoemann spoke with residents at some of the affected homes and said, “My heart goes out to all those affected by the flood. It’s nice to see the city, county, state and Feds all working together to help. We appreciate the community’s patience as we get through this necessary step toward a determination for federal aid.”
The county has provided a dozen no-fee dumpsters at 400 University Drive, West Bend. They will be available until sundown on Monday, August 25.
Notice to those impacted by the flooding: Thank you to everyone helping with flood cleanup. If your household used a dumpster, obtained on your own, or a municipal / county dumpster, we’d appreciate it if you could take a minute to fill out this short form: https://bit.ly/dumpster2025 or on our county website: https://www.washcowisco.gov/departments/emergency_management
