AUSTIN, TEXAS – As Texans repair, build or rebuild their homes after
Hurricane Harvey, home improvement stores and FEMA mitigation
specialists are teaming up to provide free information, tips and

FEMA mitigation specialists will answer questions and offer tips and
techniques to build hazard-resistant homes using proven methods that
will prevent or reduce damage from future disasters. Most of the
information and free literature provided is geared to do-it-yourself
work and general contractors.

Some topics covered will include flood insurance, elevating utilities
and rebuilding flooded and wind-damaged homes. FEMA mitigation
