FEMA denies aid appeal for deadly tornado recovery in Southwest Michigan

FEMA has denied Michigan’s appeal for individual assistance for the deadly tornadoes in March. The agency also denied a statewide request for hazard-mitigation funding.  Four tornadoes, ranging from EF-0 to EF-3, hit Branch, Cass and St. Joseph counties, killing four people. Michigan State Police said the state will keep working with communities out there and connecting survivors with resources.
