Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Oct. 30 that the federal government has approved the state’s appeal for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance funding after severe storms and flooding in July. The aid applies to 20 Texas counties.

According to the Office of the Texas Governor, the approval brings financial assistance and services to eligible residents in those counties. The Texas Division of Emergency Management submitted the appeal on the state’s behalf.

The governor’s office said the approval followed an announcement this week by President Donald J. Trump that his administration would make additional FEMA relief available after the July storms. Abbott said in a statement that President Trump “has approved Texas’ appeal for FEMA Individual Assistance after the July storms and flooding.”

The 20 approved counties are Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Crockett, Dimmit, Frio, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Kinney, La Salle, Maverick, Medina, Real, Schleicher, Sutton, Uvalde, Val Verde and Zavala.

The Individual Assistance program helps eligible people with disaster-related expenses, according to the governor’s office. These include temporary housing, emergency home repairs, and uninsured and underinsured personal property losses. The program also covers disaster legal services, disaster unemployment assistance, and medical, dental and funeral expenses caused by the disaster.

Texans can apply online at disasterassistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362.

The governor’s office said a separate appeal to FEMA for Hazard Mitigation grant program funding is still pending. The release did not say what that program would provide, how much money is involved, or when a decision is expected.

The release also listed earlier steps Abbott has taken in response to the flooding. These include securing approval of a Major Disaster Declaration, obtaining a suspension of federal tax deadlines for affected people and businesses, and acquiring federal disaster assistance for four additional counties. The list also includes extending SNAP replacement benefits for Texans affected by flooding and issuing a state disaster declaration.

The release did not give a total dollar amount for the Individual Assistance approval or say how many people may qualify.
