Flood Recovery Resources, Updates, and Assistance

Communities across the Hill Country continue recovering from last week's devastating floods. While we are grateful that the loss of life was far lower than during last year's flood, two of our fellow Texans were tragically lost, and many communities sustained significant damage to homes, businesses, roads, and other infrastructure.

Damage assessments remain underway, and President Trump has approved a federal emergency declaration to support response efforts across the affected counties. My office remains in close coordination with local, state, and federal officials as our communities begin the work of recovering and rebuilding. Below are resources currently available to affected residents, businesses, and volunteers.

Report Storm Damage to TDEM

If your home or business sustained storm damage, please report it through the Texas Division of Emergency Management's Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool, or ISTAT.

These reports are vital to helping state and federal officials understand the scope of the damage, deploy resources, and determine eligibility for additional recovery assistance. Completing the survey is not an application for financial assistance.

Please Fill Out the Survey: Here.

Rep. Roy on the Hill Country Floods: "I was honored to visit with first responders, local officials, and the residents of Blanco, Kerr, Kendal, and Gillespie counties to survey the damage and assess recovery and rebuilding efforts. More than 200 rescues were made during this flood thanks to heroic first responders. The water is down, but recovery is just getting started. Keep these communities in your prayers."
