AUSTIN, Texas – Homeowners and renters in Burnet, San Saba, Tom Green, Travis and Williamson counties are now eligible for FEMA disaster assistance after the severe storms, straight-line winds and flooding that began July 2.

FEMA and the State of Texas may be able to help with serious disaster-related needs, displacement, temporary lodging, basic home repair costs and personal property loss. Previously, Kerr County was designated for FEMA assistance, meaning survivors with losses in Kerr County could apply even if they do not live in the county or in Texas.

Survivors with homeowners’, renters and flood insurance are encouraged to file a claim with their insurance carrier as soon as possible. By law, FEMA cannot provide funding for losses covered by your insurance. If your policy does not cover all disaster expenses, you may be eligible for federal assistance.

There are several ways to apply. 

The fastest way is to go to DisasterAssistance.gov. You may also use the FEMA App for mobile devices or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Lines are open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT. If you use a relay service, captioned telephone or other service, you can give FEMA your number for that service. Helpline operators speak many languages. Press 2 for Spanish.

You may also visit a Disaster Recovery Center to receive in-person assistance. A recovery center is open from 8

WASHINGTON — FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of New Mexico to supplement response efforts due to emergency conditions resulting from severe storms, flooding and landslides beginning on June 23, 2025, and continuing.

The President’s action authorizes FEMA to coordinate all federal disaster relief efforts to alleviate the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population and to provide appropriate assistance to save lives, to protect property, public health and safety and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe.

The assistance is for Chaves, Lincoln, Otero and Valencia counties.

Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize and provide, at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures, limited to direct federal assistance, under the public assistance program, will be provided at 75% federal funding.

José M. Gil Montañez has been named as the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected area. Designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.
