FEMA's mission is to help people before, during and after disasters. Here's what you can expect from FEMA in each stage.
About Our Process
FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Kansas to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by the severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding from April 25-30, 2024.
Texans who have disaster related needs due to Hurricane Beryl may be eligible for disaster assistance under FEMA’s Individuals and Household Program. Currently, residents living in Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, Walker and Wharton counties may be eligible for disaster assistance.
President Biden amended the Major Disaster Declaration for Texas on July 12 authorizing additional federal assistance to disaster survivors to help aid in their recovery from Hurricane Beryl which occurred July 5-9, 2024. Survivors who are uninsured or underinsured can register for assistance that may include funding to repair or replace their homes, temporary housing, access to low-interest loans or other programs to help them jumpstart their recovery.
