Texans are a stout breed of folks that have weathered many disasters in our past and will continue to do so in the future. The property damage involved with this recent flooding far exceeds anything we have seen in our recent history.
To speed up the necessary repairs and recovery, I encourage everyone that has been impacted by the recent flooding in Texas to document damage with photos and submit a damage survey at the link below. This is important because if the total reported damage across the State exceeds 57 million, the incident is then eligible to be declared a disaster by the federal government. This in turn will allow victims involved with the disaster to be eligible to receive FEMA disaster relief assistance. Reporting the damage will not guarantee you will receive disaster relief but not doing so certainly does not help.
You may submit the survey at the link below. The link below is from the Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM) and their “Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool (iSTAT) Damage Surveys”. In plain English, it’s a form you fill out to estimate the damage caused by the flood to your property. When doing so, select the “July 12th Severe Weather” incident. The rest is pretty straight forward and there are how-to videos that can walk you through the process.
Whether you are reimbursed for estimated damage and when is anyone’s guess at this point, but I encourage you to fill out these forms.
