Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire claimants whose structures were left with increased risks of wildfires, flooding or other cascading impacts may be reimbursed for costs to reduce these risks to pre-fire levels, but they must finish the work by the deadline of November 14, 2025.

Businesses and residents in seven Oklahoma counties impacted by the March 14-21 wildfires and straight-line winds are eligible to apply for low-interest disaster assistance loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

AUSTIN – In coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), FEMA and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) have been staffing Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) to offer face-to-face help to residents of the four South Texas counties affected by the severe storms and flooding that occurred March 26-28, 2025. Starting Saturday, June 21, new weekend hours of operation for all seven DRCs are: • Saturdays: Open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Sundays: Closed Weekday hours remain the same: Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. All DRCs will be closed for the Juneteenth Holiday (Thursday, June 19); and reopen on Friday, June 20, at 8 a.m.

Oklahoma survivors should be aware that con artists and criminals may try to obtain money or steal personal information through fraud or identity theft after the fires and straight-line winds that began March 14-21. In some cases, thieves try to apply for FEMA assistance using names, addresses and Social Security numbers they have stolen from survivors.

After Arkansans apply for disaster assistance, FEMA may call to schedule an inspection of the damaged home or for more information to process the application. These calls may come from unfamiliar area codes or phone numbers.
