AUSTIN, TEXAS – Join the more than 47,000 Texans who have learned
from FEMA mitigation specialists at local home improvement stores how
to better prepare their homes for natural disasters.

 

Hurricane season began in June, making it a great time to meet with a
FEMA expert and learn how to prepare for extreme weather. Our
mitigation specialists will provide tips and techniques on how to
repair and build more hazard-resistant homes using proven methods to
mitigate against future flood damage.

 

Specialists are eager to meet with anyone who has questions about
disaster preparedness, even if Hurricane Harvey did not affect them.
Topics covered include making a family disaster plan, disaster supply
kits and the importance of flood insurance. FEMA mitigation
