WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) announced that Kimble, Mason, and Menard counties have officially been added to President Trump's Major Disaster Declaration for public assistance from FEMA.
"I'm grateful that Kimble, Mason, and Menard counties have been added to President Trump's Major Disaster Declaration for Public Assistance. These communities have faced difficult challenges from recent flooding, and I've heard directly from local leaders about the impact on their communities. This designation gives local governments the federal resources they need to repair public infrastructure and support their communities' recovery. My team and I have been in close contact with county officials since the flooding began, working to ensure they received the resources they need. I'm always proud to be a Texan—especially in moments like this, when I see our community come together when it matters most," said Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11).
Background on FEMA Public Assistance:
Public Assistance is a FEMA program that provides funding to state, local, and tribal governments — as well as certain private nonprofits — to help communities recover from a disaster. It covers costs like debris removal, emergency protective measures, and repairing or rebuilding public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, utilities, and public buildings.
