📰 News we're reading

• FEMA, other agencies document storm damage in Homewood, Illinois (cbsnews.com) — FEMA and Illinois emergency officials are in Homewood documenting last month's severe storm damage, going door-to-door to assess costly losses that could qualify Cook County for federal disaster aid. Recent tornadoes and destructive storms have repeatedly battered Homewood, toppling trees onto homes and leaving major debris piles, so these assessments may directly affect local recovery resources and assistance options.
