Homeowners and renters need to apply for ‘Individual Assistance’ under the major disaster declaration DR-4879-TX in one of the following ways:
-
The FEMA helpline, 800-621-3362, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., central
Have this information readily available when applying:
-
If insured, the policy number or the agent and/or company name
-
Current phone number

A general list of damages and losses
-

FEMA recommends that receipts from purchases related to cleanup and repair must be kept.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) low-interest loans are also available for businesses, nonprofits, homeowners and renters.
FEMA said people with homeowners, renters or flood insurance should file a claim first.
By law, FEMA can not duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance. If your policy does not cover all your damage expenses, you may be eligible for federal assistance, the agency said.
