In response to the devastating flooding that has impacted multiple counties in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has announced the approval of federal assistance to aid recovery efforts. More counties have been declared eligible for FEMA aid as Trump visits Texas, where he granted a request for disaster status. Abbott has further requested federal support for additional counties affected by the flooding. A new Disaster Recovery Center has opened in Kerrville to assist flood victims, while residents can apply for disaster unemployment benefits if their jobs were affected. Federal assistance is being extended to various counties, including Kerr, Tom Green, and San Saba, and local organizations are seeking volunteers to help with relief efforts. As FEMA provides information on how to apply for financial aid, the community encourages residents to report flood damage and take advantage of the available resources.
