Milwaukee Urgent Sheltering Task Force public appeal

The City of Milwaukee has seen a decline in available sheltering options for those displaced by fires and other unplanned disasters as well as trained volunteers to staff them. In an effort to combat these crisis-level situations, Milwaukee Fire Chief Aaron Lipski, along with the American Red Cross and the Milwaukee County Office of Emergency Management spearheaded an Urgent Sheltering Task Force with members crossing multiple jurisdictions and departments, agencies, and non-profit organizations.
