Governor Abbott announces federal disaster assistance for two additional Texas counties

Governor Greg Abbott announced on July 19 that the federal government has updated President Donald J. Trump’s Major Disaster Declaration to include Hamilton and Travis counties in response to the recent flooding across Texas.

With the addition of Hamilton and Travis counties, the following counties are now approved for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance program: Burnet, Coke, Concho, Hamilton, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Llano, Mason, Mc-Culloch, Menard, San Saba, Tom Green, Travis, and Williamson. FEMA’s Public Assistance program includes assistance for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities. Additional counties may be requested as updated information becomes available.

Texans can apply for FEMA disaster assistance online at disasterassistance. gov or by calling 800-621-3362. Additional counties may be added as additional damage assessments are completed in impacted communities.
