Do you need assistance with FEMA?

As we come together in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, I want to assure you that my team and I are here to help you during this difficult time. While many have recovered throughout the district, I want to make sure everyone who still needs help is receiving it. 

My website has links to resources, including your local Emergency Management Agency websites, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website, and the National Weather Service (NWS) website.

FEMA Resources

•  Displacement Assistance: Disaster Assistance is money to help with housing needs if you cannot return to your home because of the disaster. The money can be used to stay in a hotel, with family and friends, or options while you look for a more permanent housing solution.
• Individual Assistance:  You can apply for help online or give my office a call if you have any questions or want information on a pending application.
