Ten counties are designated for federal assistance for the July 2-18 floods: Burnet, Guadalupe, Kerr, Kimble, McCulloch, Menard, San Saba, Tom Green, Travis and Williamson.
There is no cost to apply for FEMA assistance and our specialists offer free guidance on available aid, including money to help with housing repairs or replacement of damaged appliances and furnishings.
The last day to apply for FEMA disaster assistance is Thursday, Sept. 4, and you will need your email address to apply. This is also the deadline to apply for a long-term, low-interest disaster loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
