Governor Malloy sent the State application for financial assistance to FEMA earlier this month and FEMA will send its recommendation to the President, who makes the final decision on whether to declare Brookfield and the state a disaster area. First Selectman Steve Dunn says they expect an answer by the end of August.  Brookfield has completed cleanup of the town right-of-way, removing 50,000 cubic yards of debris in 19 days. Debris is being chipped to prepare for transport to a final destination.  Brookfield public works crews will be handling ongoing cleanup, so residents are being asked for patience as workers balance their daily responsibilities with storm cleanup.
