AUSTIN, Texas – A Disaster Recovery Center will open Sunday, July 20, in Burnet County to offer face-to-face help to survivors who had damage or losses from the severe storms and flooding in Central Texas.
Homeowners, renters and eligible non-residents may receive FEMA assistance for losses not covered by insurance. Survivors with homeowner’s or renter’s insurance should first file a claim with their insurance company as soon as possible. If your policy does not cover all your damage expenses, you may be eligible for federal assistance.
The Disaster Recovery Center is located at:
Burnet Community Center
401 E. Jackson St.
Burnet, TX 78611
Hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily
FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration are supporting the Texas Division of Emergency Management, which is leading efforts to help survivors apply for federal disaster assistance. Center specialists can also identify potential needs and connect survivors with local, state and federal agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and community groups.
Disaster Recovery Centers are accessible to people with disabilities and those with access and functional needs. They are also equipped with assistive technology. If you need a reasonable accommodation or an American Sign Language interpreter, call 833-285-7448 (press 2 for Spanish).
