Following the July 2026 floods in the Hill Country and South Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has designated 33 counties for assistance. Individuals who have received a decision for assistance from FEMA have 60 days to appeal. An appeal form should be included with every decision letter, but can also be found on the FEMA website.
Aiding the Appeal Process
FEMA said that sending estimates for repairs, bills, receipts, property titles, deeds, and any documentation that shows you require additional assistance should be used in the appeal process. The agency also requires that documents used for an appeal include the following: receipts, bills, and estimates for businesses must also include the business’s name and contact information that can be verified.
There are several ways to submit an appeal and supporting documents to FEMA. If the appeal is being submitted on behalf of someone else, the agency requires written permission from that person. FEMA said that residents can expect a decision on the appeal within 90 days. The agency will notify residents through mail or a DisasterAssistance.gov account.
The FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 will answer questions on the appeal process.
