April Storms and Flooding: Texans in Four Counties Can Now Register for FEMA Disaster Assistance

Texas Disaster Assistance Nearly $30 Million

AUSTIN, Texas – More than $29.9 million in federal and state aid to date is helping the residents

been working to help Texans recover. The following is a snapshot of the disaster recovery effort as of

April 25: Nearly $18.4 million has been approved to help homeowners and renters;

More than $11.5 million has been approved by SBA for 174 low-interest disaster loans for

businesses, homeowners and renters to help pay for damage not covered by insurance.

o Of that, more than $11.2 million went to homeowners and renters; and

o More than $366,000 for businesses.

 1,674 survivors have received assistance; and

Temporary Housing Help Available from FEMA for Displaced Survivors

JACKSON, Miss. – Mississippians whose homes were destroyed or made unlivable by the recent storms and flooding can turn to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance.

FEMA and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, as well as local communities, are committed to helping survivors find options for safe housing following the disaster that began March 9. FEMA also wants to help survivors return to their homes.

Those who are unable to remain in their homes made unsafe, unlivable or inaccessible by the disaster, can contact FEMA for assistance in finding temporary housing. Financial assistance for renting temporary housing is available for eligible survivors.

To be considered eligible, survivors first must register with FEMA online at DisasterAssistance.gov, or by calling FEMA’s Helpline (voice, 711 or relay service) at 800-621-3362. (TTY users should call 800-462-7585.) The toll-free lines are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Multilingual operators are available.

Other eligibility requirements include:

  • Proof that the primary residence is unsafe, unlivable or uninhabitable and within the disaster-designated county;

  • Insured survivors must have filed for insurance benefits and found that the damage to the property is not covered by insurance, the insurance settlement is insufficient or the settlement has not yet been received.

  • Damage must have occurred between March 9 and 29, 2016.

FEMA rental assistance is temporary and is not designed to be a permanent housing option. Rental assistance serves as a bridge until survivors secure permanent housing.

The U.S. Small Business Administration can provide long-term rebuilding assistance in the form of low-interest disaster loans to qualified individuals in their recovery.

Businesses of all sizes, homeowners and renters may obtain information on SBA disaster loan applications by calling 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the hard of hearing) or by visiting SBA.gov. Survivors may also apply for disaster loans at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Both FEMA and SBA are prohibited by law from duplicating insurance benefits. But, if the survivor’s insurance falls short of meeting the need, the survivor may be eligible for help from either or both agencies.

For more information on Mississippi’s disaster recovery, visit fema.gov/disaster4268 and msema.org.
