AUSTIN, Texas – A Disaster Recovery Center will open Saturday, July 19, in San Saba 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:

San Saba Civic Center
1190 S Thomas Stewart Dr.
San Saba, TX 76877
Hours: 8 am. 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).

Here are the ways to apply for FEMA disaster assistance:

New axolotl study gives researchers a leg up in work towards limb regeneration

Researchers supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation have discovered that it is not how much of a key molecule that allows axolotls to regenerate limbs properly, it is how little. This new knowledge moves researchers closer to enabling tissue repair and, possibly, limb regeneration in humans.

“Axolotls are a species of salamander that have the ability to regrow limbs and repair organ tissue,” said Anna Allen, a program officer in the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences. “Based on previous work, researchers knew that a particular molecule told cells to start the process of regrowth but how cells knew where they were along a limb and, therefore, what structure to build in that location remained a mystery.”

The new work, led by James Monaghan, a professor of biology and director of the Institute for Chemical Imaging of Living Systems at Northeastern University, shows that the key is how that critical molecule, retinoic acid, degrades. An enzyme whose only job is to destroy retinoic acid is extremely prevalent at the far end of the limb (the wrist) but much less prevalent at the shoulder, meaning the reverse for retinoic acid. It is this decreasing amount of retinoic acid that allows the cells to know if they are at the shoulder, mid-limb, or wrist.

Building on their findings, the researchers used CRISPR technology to turn off certain

From 18/07/2025 to 18/07/2025, a Tropical Storm (maximum wind speed of 102 km/h) WIPHA-25 was active in NWPacific. The cyclone affects these countries: Philippines, Taiwan, China, Viet Nam, Laos (vulnerability High). Estimated population affected by category 1 (120 km/h) wind speeds or higher is 0 (178.404 million in tropical storm).
