Stay in Touch with FEMA

MADISON – Wisconsin residents who applied for federal assistance may need to follow-up with FEMA for a variety of reasons such as to schedule an inspection or provide additional information or documents to move their application forward. Those who still need help recovering after the August storms and flooding and haven’t yet applied, still have until November 12 to do so.

Applicants with Insurance 

If you applied with FEMA and have insurance for the damage to your home, you will need to submit the insurance settlement or denial letter to FEMA as part of your application. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by other sources.   

Answer that Inspector Call

FEMA will typically call or text you within 10 days after you apply to schedule an inspection. While that timeframe can vary, be sure to respond to move your application forward. Inspectors will present an official FEMA ID and already have your application number when they arrive at your home. You can ask them to verify that information before the inspection begins. A FEMA inspector will never ask for money or your bank information. If you are unsure whether a visit or call is legitimate, contact the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 to verify.

Applicants Appealing an Initial FEMA Decision

Read your FEMA letter carefully: it will provide additional information on what to submit if you

Since 2021, electricity demand within the Texas electricity grid operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has steadily increased. In the first nine months of 2025, electricity demand in ERCOT, which manages about 90% of the state’s load, reached a record high compared with the same period in previous years. Over those same months, ERCOT had the fastest electricity demand growth among U.S. electricity grids between 2024 and 2025. From January through September 2025, demand for electric power in ERCOT increased 5% compared with the same period in 2024 to 372 terawatthours (TWh), 23% more than the same months in 2021. Since 2023, wind
