Assistance Available for Texans Affected by Hurricane Beryl

In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, many Texas communities are facing significant challenges. To aid in the recovery process, FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) teams are actively working in affected neighborhoods. These teams are dedicated to helping residents apply for federal assistance, check the status of their applications, and connect with additional resources.


How to Apply for FEMA Assistance

If you are a homeowner or renter in any of the following counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Nacogdoches, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, Walker, or Wharton, you are eligible to apply for FEMA assistance. Here’s how you can apply:


  1. Online: Visit disasterassistance.gov to start your application.

  2. Mobile App: Download the FEMA App on your mobile device for easy access and application submission.

  3. Phone: Call the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. CT. Assistance is available in multiple languages. If you use a relay service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone, or other service, be sure to provide FEMA with your specific number.

  4. In-Person: Visit a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC). These centers are set up to provide support for both Hurricane Beryl and the previous April-June storms and flooding. For locations, check fema.gov/drc.
