Residents in Texas affected by recent severe flooding can now access federal disaster assistance following the activation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), triggered by a Major Disaster Declaration from President Trump.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Texas residents in federally designated disaster areas who experienced property damage or other losses are encouraged to first contact their insurance providers. Afterward, they can apply for federal assistance online at http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov, via the FEMA App, or by calling 1-800-621-3362. Those using relay services should provide FEMA with the appropriate service contact number.
