AUSTIN, TEXAS – As Texans repair or rebuild their homes damaged by
Hurricane Harvey and subsequent flooding, Texas Department of
Insurance (TDI), home improvement stores and FEMA mitigation
specialists are teaming up to provide free information, tips and
literature on making homes stronger and safer.

Texans who have insurance questions can meet with TDI staff, in
addition to mitigation specialists, at the McCoy's Building Supply in
Kingsville (Kleberg County) from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., March 8.

FEMA mitigation specialists will answer questions and offer tips and
techniques to build hazard-resistant homes using proven methods that
will prevent or reduce damage from future disasters. Most of the
information and the free publications provided are geared to
do-it-yourself work and general contractors.

Recovery topics covered include flood insurance, elevating utilities
and rebuilding flooded homes. Free reference booklets with information
on protecting a home from flood damage will be available. FEMA
mitigation specialists will be available at these stores:
