MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Federal money to help Wisconsin recover from storms and flooding is arriving.

State emergency officials said Wednesday the first Federal Emergency Management Agency grants have been awarded for such things as emergency home repairs and temporary housing. They total nearly $38,000.

President Bush has declared seven counties disaster areas: Crawford, Columbia, Milwaukee, Richland, Racine, Sauk and Vernon. The declaration frees up FEMA grants and low-interest loans to help people recover.

Governor Jim Doyle has declared a state of emergency in another 23 counties and some of those could be declared disaster areas as surveys of the losses are completed.

Damage from last week's storms and flooding is still being tallied, but preliminary reports indicate the losses will exceed $200 million.
