TAMARAC, FL – On April 21, 2023, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20) urged Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to request a federal emergency declaration in the wake of historic flooding across Broward County.
“Recent flooding has wreaked havoc across Florida’s 20th Congressional District, flooding our streets and displacing hundreds of families,” said Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. “My team continues to work closely with FEMA and FDEM officials on the ground. While we are slowly returning to a sense of normalcy, we need help, and we need it fast. I call on Governor Ron DeSantis to request a federal emergency declaration from President Biden so that Broward County can get the resources it desperately needs. Our communities cannot wait any longer.”
On April 20th, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick sent a letter to FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell requesting a site visit and press conference to update constituents on the impact and damage of flooding. A webpage with relief resources for constituents is also available on Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick’s website.
