AUSTIN, TEXAS – As Texans repair or rebuild their homes damaged by
Hurricane Harvey and subsequent flooding, FEMA and home-improvement
stores in Bee, Galveston, Harris and Jefferson counties are teaming up
to provide free information, tips and literature on making homes
stronger and safer.

FEMA mitigation specialists will be on hand to answer questions and
offer home-improvement tips along with proven methods to prevent or
reduce damage from future disasters as well as offer tips and
techniques to build hazard-resistant homes. Most of the information
and the free publications provided are geared to do-it-yourself work
and general contractors.

Recovery topics covered include flood insurance, elevating utilities
and rebuilding flooded homes.

Free reference booklets with information on protecting a home from
flood damage will be available.

FEMA advisers will be available at these stores:
