BATON ROUGE, La. — FEMA announced more than half a million dollars has been awarded for emergency protective services in Louisiana following Tropical Storm Harvey.

Here are a few examples of FEMA’s recent obligations: 

Austin, Texas – Floods are the most common and costly of natural disasters in the U.S. and Texas is no stranger to these weather events. Since 1996, more than 200,000 flood insurance claims have been paid out to policy holders in Texas.

AUSTIN, Texas – Eligible Hurricane Harvey survivors receiving Transitional Shelter Assistance (TSA) may receive an extension to stay in hotels beyond March 12 as they continue working toward a permanent housing solution before the temporary program ends.
