AUSTIN, Texas – The Travis County Disaster Recovery Center closes permanently Wednesday, Aug. 13, and the San Saba County center shuts down Monday, Aug. 18. FEMA specialists will still be available to help flood survivors in Central Texas with applications and direct you to local, state and federal assistance programs.
Disaster Recovery Centers are established and accessible locations where specialists from FEMA’s Individual Assistance program can help survivors with their recovery from the July storms and flooding. There is no charge to apply for FEMA assistance or for specialists to explain the types of assistance available such as housing and money to help you repair or replace appliances and room furnishings.
In addition to FEMA personnel, representatives from the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the U.S. Small Business Administration are also on hand to help.

You have until Thursday, Sept. 4, to apply for FEMA disaster assistance but you don’t need to visit a Disaster Recovery Center to apply. Keep in mind that applying to FEMA is not the same as reporting your damage to the state.
The fastest way to apply for FEMA assistance is online at DisasterAssistance.gov. You may also use the FEMA mobile app or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Lines are open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT daily and specialists speak many languages. If you use a relay service, captioned telephone or other service, you can give FEMA your number for that service.
