Great news! Judge Hidalgo just learned that President Biden has officially and in an expedited manner declared the high winds and recent devastating floods in our region a major disaster. This has allowed FEMA to quickly approve Individual Assistance (direct financial support), in addition to SBA low interest loans for folks impacted by the winds or floods. “Thank you to the Biden-Harris administration for this quick response. Both President Biden himself and the Vice President’s office reached out to me to ask how they could help. Thank you to our congressional delegation and Gov. Abbott who have been advocating alongside me for the people of Harris County and Texas. We’ll have more information on timeline and application process tomorrow. It’s a big win for our community to be able to secure all the various federal resources available.”~Judge Hidalgo

1. Texas has endured a 30-year long disaster.

3. Yup and with the lock on the State legislature and Courts it will be difficult to remediate.

2. I had no doubt Biden-Harris would do the right thing

He’s the president of the US…all of states. Even those who would not like it so.

4. Government Working Without the Drama. Should be Biden's campaign slogan.

5. I'm sure that put a downer on Gov Abbott, but we all know he will take the credit! Right?
