FEMA Assistance For Summer Rains Tops $304 Million for Cook County – FEMA
Federal assistance to Cook County residents affected by the June 29 – July 2 severe storms and flooding has topped $304 million. This amount includes FEMA grants of more than $235 million in Individual and Households grants for rental assistance, repair and replacement funding, and other needs grants that help replace personal property and provide storage and childcare payments. Comment: So much for that $4 billion deep tunnel system that was supposed to end routine flooding in Cook County.
