SW Michigan FEMA appeal
Even when official aid falls short, our neighbors still need debris cleaned, homes rebuilt and hope restored. We are still doing the work, in spite of setbacks.
The March 6 storms hit southern Lower Michigan hardest, particularly near Edwardsburg (Cass County), Three Rivers (St. Joseph County), and Union City (Branch County) Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s administration submitted the state's formal appeal on June 23, 2026, which FEMA officially denied in early August.
