Travis County has been declared for individual assistance from the federal government as a result of recent flooding, Stacy Moore-Guajardo, emergency management coordinator for Travis County, said at the Travis County Commissioners Court’s Dec. 1 meeting. President Barack Obama recently issued a disaster declaration, which will result in assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Travis County residents and business owners, including those in the Austin city limits, who had storm or flood damage between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, according to the county. “This is wonderful news for our residents,” she said. “We have a FEMA hotline that is available and open and taking registration from folks. … Individuals can register by telephone or by the Internet.” Moore-Guajardo said the county is encouraging all affected residents to register for assistance even if they already have insurance. “You never know what FEMA will reimburse you for,” she said. The county is working on setting up a fixed facility for residents to talk with FEMA representatives and will soon deploy a FEMA mobile community outreach team to help residents get registered. A flood recovery meeting will take place Dec. 5 from 2-4 p.m. at the Manchaca Fire Station, located at 665 FM 1626 in Austin. Travis County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty, Precinct 3, invites flood-affected county residents, especially those in the Arroyo Doble and Onion Creek Meadows neighborhoods, to ask questions of Daugherty and county staff.
