Texas disaster declaration incident period extended for individual assistance

More Texans may be eligible for disaster assistance with news of an extension of the original incident period for Individual Assistance under a May 29 major disaster declaration for severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding.

The new incident period is May 4 through June 22.

Incident Period Extension

Survivors who previously registered with FEMA for damage between June 20 and June 22, whose applications were not fully processed, will be automatically reviewed.  Survivors with questions should call the FEMA helpline, 800-621-3362.

Applicants already registered with FEMA, who have additional damage incurred from June 20 to June 22, should call FEMA to receive an evaluation of whether they may be eligible for additional aid.

Texans in designated counties who tried to register online for June 20 to June 22 damage, but were unable to do so, should register now by calling 800-621-3362 or going back online at disasterassistance.gov.

Texans who have yet to register with FEMA are encouraged to do so and should report any damage from May 4 through June 22.
