Michigan residents impacted by severe storms and flooding in April 2026 may now apply for disaster assistance through FEMA.
The Public Assistance Grant Program is offering support to government organizations and certain private nonprofit organizations for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and the repair or restoration of damaged facilities.

Impact & Risks

The April 2026 storms and flooding have caused significant damage across 26 counties in Michigan, affecting both public infrastructure and private properties. Residents with uninsured damages to their homes or personal belongings are particularly vulnerable. Government and nonprofit organizations are also facing challenges in managing debris removal and restoring damaged facilities. The availability of federal assistance aims to mitigate these impacts, but individuals must ensure they have filed insurance claims first to determine eligibility for additional support.
