Governor Abbott Seeks Federal Aid for Texas After Devastating Storms

Request for Presidential Disaster Declaration aims to secure financial assistance for communities hit by severe weather and flooding since April 26.

Abbott's request includes Individual Assistance for seven counties and Public Assistance for 26 counties.
Severe weather has caused over $58 million in public infrastructure damage across Texas.
Financial aid would cover temporary housing, home repairs, and other disaster-related expenses.
FEMA and SBA programs would provide additional support for debris removal and economic recovery.
State emergency response resources have been increased to support local recovery efforts.
