The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied a request for individual assistance for Texans affected by July 2026 floods, telling states they must take the lead on disaster recovery. Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Division of Emergency Management are reviewing the decision, according to a statement from the governor's office. The denial leaves residents in Kerr County and Uvalde, many still rebuilding from deadly floods in July 2025, without federal funds for temporary housing, home repairs and lost belongings.
