President Biden has added Dallas County to the Presidential Disaster Declaration ensuring that residents who were impacted by last week’s severe weather are eligible to apply for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance program.

The program assists with expenses such as temporary housing, emergency home repairs, uninsured and underinsured personal property losses, disaster legal services, disaster unemployment assistance, and medical, dental, and funeral expenses.

To apply, homeowners and renters can:

• Go online to disasterassistance.gov
• Download the FEMA App for mobile devices
• Call the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Help is available in most languages.

This assistance is only available to Grand Prairie residents in Dallas County. Residents of Tarrant, Ellis, and Johnson County are not eligible.
