Wisconsin Flood Emergency: National Guard Deployed | JQJO

Catastrophic flash flooding across southeast Wisconsin this past weekend caused widespread damage and prompted multiple counties to declare states of emergency. Governor Evers deployed the National Guard. Numerous roads remain closed due to flooding, and many homes and vehicles were destroyed in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and Waukesha. Cleanup efforts are underway, with drop-off centers established for water-damaged items. The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District released a combination of untreated sewage and stormwater into waterways due to overwhelmed systems.
