Homeowners, renters and eligible non-residents impacted by the severe storms and flooding in Kerr, Burnet, San Saba, Tom Green, Travis, and Williamson counties can apply for disaster assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The disaster recovery center will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily at First Baptist Church, 625 Washington St. in Kerrville.
FEMA and the State of Texas may be able to help people with "serious disaster-related needs, displacement, temporary lodging, basic repair costs, and personal property losses."
Claims should first be filed with insurance companies. Federal funding is available for those whose policies don't cover all damages.
Survivors may also apply for assistance through FEMA's website, disasterAssistance.gov, which is the fastest method, or by downloading the FEMA App for mobile devices or calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Calls are accepted every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Help is available in most languages.
