Galveston residents can now apply for FEMA assistance

The City of Galveston learned late today that Galveston is included in the FEMA approval of Acting Governor Dan Patrick's request to amend the Major Disaster Declaration for Hurricane Beryl to include 15 Texas Counties including Galveston County. The approval means that Galveston residents can apply for FEMA disaster assistance online at www.disasterassistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362. This is all of the information we currently have and questions regarding assistance should be directed to the FEMA contacts.
