Local residents who sustained losses from the storms and flooding April 26 - June 5 have until August 15 to apply for federal assistance.

Homeowners and renters in Harris and Montgomery Counties, along with other counties, with uninsured losses can apply in several ways:

  • Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov.
  • Download the FEMA App for mobile devices.
  • Call the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.
  • Visit a Disaster Recovery Center. To find the center location nearest you go to fema.gov/drc.
  • The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest disaster loans to homeowners, renters, private nonprofit organizations and businesses of any size. Applicants may apply online and receive additional disaster assistance information at SBA.gov/disaster or by calling 800-659-2955. SBA representatives are available to provide one-on-one assistance to disaster loan applicants at the Disaster Recovery Centers throughout the affected area. Aug. 15 is the deadline for physical disaster loan applications.
