Texas: Governor Abbott Requests SBA Disaster Declaration For Bexar County Severe Storms

~ Governor Greg Abbott has taken action to help communities in South-Central Texas that were affected by severe storms in August. In a recent press release, the Governor announced that he has requested a disaster declaration from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for Bexar County and its surrounding counties.

If approved, this declaration would make federal assistance available through disaster loans for those who have suffered damage to their homes and businesses. Governor Abbott emphasized the importance of this request, stating that it will provide critical resources to Texans who have been impacted by the storms.

The Governor's request comes after a thorough analysis of the damage sustained in affected communities, which was conducted by local, state, and federal officials at his direction. This analysis confirmed that Bexar County meets the necessary requirements for SBA assistance.

Governor Abbott reassured Texans that his administration will do everything possible to provide them with the necessary resources to rebuild and recover from these devastating storms.
