Storm Damage & Recovery

Office of Emergency Management - Please visit https://www.houstonoem.org/pages/recover to learn more about what to do during the recovery process.


Remember to take pictures of your storm damage. The damage assessment process is critical to being eligible for Independent Assistance from FEMA. Report all damage to your property to the State of Texas using the iSTAT tool- https://damage.tdem.texas.gov


Those with insurance should contact their insurance companies before applying for FEMA assistance. FEMA will only cover damages beyond the scope of the property owner's insurance plan.


If you cannot remove debris and "muck & gut" your property yourself, help is available. Contact the Crisis Cleanup hotline at 832-509-2977. Be mindful of scammers who will take advantage of the situation.


Report all scams and fraud to the Texas Attorney General.
