Disaster Recovery News

FEMA is reporting on what they consider strong and quick disaster recovery services in Texas weeks after Hurricane Dolly ravaged the Texas and Mexico coast on July 24. Under the presidential major disaster declaration, residents of 15 counties are eligible for Individual and/or Public assistance to aid in the removal of debris and damage prevention.

Over 19,500 individuals and homes have applied for federal disaster assistance to date and over 2,250 people have met with disaster recovery specialists at Disaster Recovery Centers to get one-on-one help for their specific home or business needs.
