Yesterday, FEMA added Dallas County to its lists of eligible counties to receive disaster assistance to help residents and businesses impacted by severe weather in North Texas. The addition follows a declaration for Collin County last week, which now means all Richardson residents are now eligible to receive help to recover from storm damage sustained in last week’s storms.
What kind of assistance is available?
• Home repairs: FEMA can help repair uninsured damage to your primary residence.
• Essential needs: Reimbursement is available for a variety of essential items, including:
o Food
o Water
o Diapers
o Prescriptions
o Baby formula
o Chainsaws for clearing debris
o Generators for powering medical equipment
• Temporary housing: FEMA can provide funding for hotel stays or rental assistance if your home is uninhabitable.
These are just some examples of assistance available.
