WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Three months after historic flooding here in Wisconsin, Governor Tony Evers is calling on the Trump administration to reverse its decision to deny certain emergency funding to the state. 

Last month, the administration denied funding requests for both the public assistance and hazard mitigation programs. 

The two initiatives are aimed at helping restore buildings and other infrastructure in the aftermath of the flooding, as well as creating projects that reduce the risks and impacts of future disasters. 

According to a statement, the state asked the federal government for more than $26 million in disaster recovery. In response, FEMA reportedly said, "The public assistance program is not warranted."

According to the governor's office, Evers directed Wisconsin Emergency Management to collect additional information on costs to the public sector following the storms in order to appeal both decisions.

Evers' administration says the additional reviews discovered more than $1 million in damage beyond the initial total.

This brings the total in damages between both Public Assistance Preliminary Damage Assessments to more than $27.5 million, according to the governor's office, "more than double the state's official per capital threshold for FEMA Public Assistance."

This funding is separate from the FEMA funds for individuals and households. That funding was approved, and FEMA has approved millions of dollars for people affected by the flooding.
