Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that he issued a disaster declaration for communities in Southeast Texas impacted by severe storms that caused damage to homes and businesses on Tuesday.
FOX 26 Reporter Gabby Hart spoke with the owner of Skate World, a staple in the Deer Park community.
"The State of Texas is ready to assist Texans and businesses impacted by tornados in Southeast Texas communities," Abbott said in a press release. "This disaster declaration will swiftly provide all necessary resources to help Texans navigate the recovery process during this difficult time. Texans impacted by severe weather are encouraged to self-report sustained damages to their homes or businesses through the iSTAT survey.
According to the release, the Texas Division of Emergency Management has deployed state emergency response personnel on Wednesday to affected areas to conduct preliminary damage assessments alongside local responders, with those efforts continuing through the rest of the week. The Texas Division of Emergency Management has also requested the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide personnel to participate in joint preliminary damage assessments to certify the damage. The effort will help determine whether Texas meets federal requirements for disaster assistance. Abbott added on Wednesday that all impacted Texans should complete the self-reporting damage survey.
