Praying this post is finding you well. Here is an email from Chris at Impact for those who may need some assistance and for those who find themselves in a position to help.
If you need assistance or can volunteer to help, go to the following link - https://houstonsfirst.org/the-loop/lovefirst and fill out the appropriate form. We are going through the church, so even though the wording on the website may say contact your LBS leaders first, please fill out the form and the church will send that information to your LBS leader.
For those who can volunteer, please list Team Impact as the answer to the following question:
"Are you bringing a friend or family member to help? If so, list name and ages. Note: Volunteers need to be at least 13 years of age."
Additionally, here are several resources explaining steps to follow to request FEMA assistance and the documentation someone will need to file with their insurance companies - you'll want to file with FEMA as soon as possible so that you're not at the end of the queue.
www.disasterassistance.gov - Apply for FEMA assistance
http://harrisrecovery.org/ - Has links to FEMA, how to sort debris for Harris County residents, fraud preventions, and more.
https://katydisasterresponse.com - Has steps for cleanup, documentation of damage for insurance and FEMA - you'll need to scroll down to the "If My Home Floods" post.
Just a reminder that if your home or car has flooded and you need to file an insurance claim, the law for insurance changes as of September 1st, so you need to file a written request (fax or email work too) with your insurance company by tomorrow night - that filing deadline is extremely important. I have attached a form that you can submit to your insurance company.
Again, if you need assistance, please fill out the form at HFBC's LoveFirst website so we know your needs. If you don't have power or are unable to get to the online form, please contact your LBS leader directly so we know your needs.
