FEMA ASSISTANCE DEADLINE: AUGUST 10TH

  

Texans who suffered damage or losses from the recent storms and flooding have 30 more days to register with FEMA for federal disaster assistance.

Individuals in the 24 eligible counties, who had disaster-related damage or losses between May 26 and June 24 have until Wednesday, Aug. 10, to register for FEMA assistance.

The local counties included in the federal disaster declaration are: Washington, Austin, Brazos, Burleson, Fayette, Grimes, Lee,

Montgomery and Waller Counties.

Applying for disaster assistance is a two-step process, which ensures consideration for all FEMA programs and the U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loans.

First, register with FEMA, then complete and return the no-obligation SBA loan application, if one is offered.

Disaster survivors may register for assistance the following ways:

Online at DisasterAssistance.gov.

By phone at  800-621-3362 (FEMA).

Or, at a disaster recovery center. To find the nearest one, go online to the disaster recovery center locator at asd.fema.gov/inter/locator.
