WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- President Donald Trump announced he has approved $29.8 million in disaster relief funds for the Wisconsin following historic flooding back in August. 

Senator Ron Johnson said on X, "I just had a great call with @POTUS who approved Wisconsin’s request for flood disaster relief. Thank you to President Trump for continuing to deliver BIG TIME for Wisconsinites. Also, thank you to @RepBryanSteil and @RepFitzgerald for helping lead the charge to obtain the much-needed federal assistance."

FEMA crews conducted damage assessments throughout southeast Wisconsin last month which led to the approval of the funding.
