Texas: More Counties Get Federal Disaster Assistance
FEMA announced on Friday that it will add six Texas counties to its list of eligible areas for disaster assistance. The federal funding is provided to aid with repairs, restoration, reconstruction and replacement of public facilities and their contents, roads, bridges, water facilities, parks and other public infrastructures damaged by Hurricane Dolly.
Brooks, Cameron, Hidalgo, Kenedy, Starr and Willacy counties are all now eligible for all categories of federal Public Assistance in addition to qualifying for Individial Assistance. By being added to this program, the county governments and some non-profit organizations are now eligible to receive 75% of the funds needed to complete disaster recovery efforts on these infrastructures.
Representatives in these counties that would like to learn more are encouraged to contact the Texas Governor’s Division of Emergency Management.
