After President Donald Trump added Tom Green County to the Major Disaster Declaration on Friday, local leaders unveiled a path forward for help.

FEMA is anticipated to open a 90-day public appeal and comment period in the winter where property owners can formally challenge the flood zone designation but they must provide scientific or technical data to back up their request.

The FEMA Flood Map Service Center offers an interactive map that allows anyone in the U.S. to enter their address and see if they live in a designated flood zone. The tool can also be used to explore other areas, making it helpful for those planning a move, managing a rental property or checking on family or friends in another region.

Two days after deadly Texas floods, the agency struggled to answer calls from survivors because of call center contracts that weren’t extended.

On average, it takes five to seven years to develop and implement a new FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map. As a result, many maps across the U.S. are significantly out of date, often failing to reflect current land use, urban development or evolving flood risks from extreme weather.

Thousands of calls to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, just two days after deadly floods tore through central Texas, went unanswered because hundreds of call center contractors were let go the previous day,

Some governors and mayors are concerned over how current or potential cuts to agencies will impact how the government can respond in the future to major weather events.

Ninety-six of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least 36 children. State officials vowed to continue searching for over 160 people still missing but have acknowledged the dwindling chances of finding survivors alive a week after the disaster.
