Who is going to pay to clean up metro Detroit flood damage?

Who is going to pay to clean up metro Detroit flood damage? | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"As metro Detroit recovers from this week’s historic flood and assessors start tallying the damage, one key question keeps popping up in neighborhoods and city halls:
Who is going to pay to clean up the mess? 
Homeowners want to know. 
So do business owners and local officials, who are scrambling to figure out how much total damage was done. So far, the cities hit by flooding have determined that 33% to 50% of homes were damaged.
That’s more than 34,000 structures.
 But new reports of flood damage keep coming in — the latest involving a half-dozen basements collapsing in Warren, Center Line and Clinton Township after floodwaters receded. And streets and highways are still buckling.
Whether federal aid becomes available remains uncertain.
But if Warren is any indication, the price is going to be astronomical, and government aid will be vital.
“If the federal government can help flood-damaged communities in various countries in the world,” Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said Thursday, “I think they can help flood damage in the city of Warren and southeast Michigan.
Like someone said to me, this was a biblical storm with biblical cost.”

Fouts said Monday’s heavy rains damaged 18,047 structures in Warren worth $1.2 billion — not including damage at the police department, district court, community center and the 10 police cars destroyed.
Plus, 1,000 abandoned vehicles on Warren roadways had to be towed."
