Governor Greg Abbott has announced that at his request, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has extended the Individual Assistance registration period for Texans impacted by flooding that occurred over Fourth of July weekend. Individuals who live in qualifying counties now have until Sept. 28 to submit damages and make claims to FEMA.
”Texas continues to rebuild and recover in the communities impacted by catastrophic floods over the Fourth of July weekend,” said Governor Abbott. “Together, with our federal partners, we will ensure that all Texans who qualify for financial assistance have ample time to apply.”
Qualifying Texans in Burnet, Guadalupe, Kerr, Kimble, McCulloch, Menard, San Saba, Tom Green, Travis, and Williamson counties may be eligible for the Individual Assistance program, which provides financial assistance for qualifying disaster-related expenses.
Texans can apply for FEMA disaster assistance online at disasterassistance. gov or by calling 800-621-3362. Texans can also visit a Disaster Recovery Center for more information on applying for disaster assistance and accessing available services. Local officials across impacted communities have also opened disaster outreach centers with support from state, federal and non-profit partners.
