AUSTIN, Texas – Time is running out to apply for federal disaster assistance if you had damage or losses from the July 2—18 storms and flooding in Central Texas.
The application period ends Sunday, Sept. 28, for those who were affected by the flooding in Burnet, Guadalupe, Kerr, Kimble, McCulloch, Menard, San Saba, Tom Green, Travis and Williamson counties.
There is no cost to apply for FEMA assistance, which may help with serious disaster-related needs including temporary housing and replacement of essential personal property when the damage is not covered by insurance. Grants may also cover disaster-related funeral, medical, dental, moving-and-storage and childcare expenses including money to replace damaged appliances and furnishings.
FEMA works closely with the U.S. Small Business Administration, which provides disaster loans to homeowners, renters, nonprofit organizations and businesses of all sizes. The deadline to apply for a long-term, low-interest SBA disaster loan is also Sept. 28.
Applying for FEMA assistance and reporting damage to the state are two different processes. Remember to have your email address ready for the FEMA application. You can upload additional paperwork to your FEMA account even after the deadline has passed.
The fastest way to apply is online at DisasterAssistance.gov. You may also use the FEMA mobile app or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Helpline specialists speak many languages and lines are open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT daily.
