Resources for Individuals

Were you an Individual affected by the floods?

Please fill out this needs assessment survey. The results will go towards helping the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and local nonprofits assess need, advocate for more resources, and direct individuals into nonprofit assistance as it becomes available. Your participation will allow us to advocate for more resources for our community and strengthen recovery efforts. This isn’t an application for assistance, but you can opt-in to receive text messages about available new resources and assistance as they become available.

Are you a Nonprofit affected by the floods?

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country is gathering information from local organizations involved in flood recovery. Your input will help us better understand capacity, needs and opportunities for collaboration during this critical time.

We invite you to complete the Nonprofit Capacity Assessment by creating a log-in to our RebuildKerr grants management system.

What does this mean for you?

It means that you can apply for disaster assistance from FEMA to help offset your disaster-related expenses. 

How to Apply:

  • Online   or

  • By telephone at (800) 621-3362 or

  • Download the FEMA weather app from Google PlayStore or the Apple Store

    • Apply for assistance on the app and upload receipts.

Whichever method you choose, the form has a few questions that can be tricky. To avoid delay, please follow the following tips:

1.     One of the questions that FEMA will ask when you register is “Do You Have Emergency Needs”? This means during your evacuation or since staying at home during the disaster, do you need help with Gas, Medication, Food (meals, water, had no power and everything spoils), Shelter (you are staying with friends, family or in a hotel); Clothing; or Durable Medical Equipment (oxygen, walkers, cane, glasses, all major equipment, etc). Say “YES” to this question. That can qualify you for Serious Needs Assistance, which is $770.

2.      When asked if your home is/was accessible, answer "NO" if there was debris, tree branches, continued flooding, loss of power, damage or destruction that prevented you from staying there after the flooding event. This question is asking whether you can stay at your home or apartment and will trigger the ability for you to receive assistance to pay for temporary lodging or provide funding to use while you stay with family or friends.

3.      When asked if utilities are out, say "YES" even if your utilities were out for a few days. This triggers assistance $ to stay somewhere other than your home or to buy fuel to power a generator.

4.       When asked “Are you willing to relocate” say "YES" if you cannot live in your home due to damage, loss of power, etc. This question means you are willing to stay in a hotel or apartment temporarily, and triggers that funding for you. It is not asking if you are willing to move away from your home permanently.

5.      If you bought or buy a generator, FEMA will reimburse you up to $629, but you must submit the receipt.  (The generator must be purchased or rented to power a medically-required or life-sustaining appliance, equipment, or refrigerator for required prescribed medication.)
