Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that additional counties have been added to the Presidential Disaster Declaration following the recent flooding in Texas, with FEMA providing Individual Assistance and Public Assistance programs to aid affected Texans.

The declaration will ensure federal resources are made available to those impacted by the catastrophic flooding.

At least 24 people are dead after heavy rain lashed Texas, leading to "catastrophic" flooding. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said emergency responders remained in a search and rescue posture, hours after the flooding along the Guadalupe River inundated nearby areas.
