Brady: Rains not over but early assessment shows need for second disaster declaration
Conroe, TX —U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady is urging Texas Governor Greg Abbott to declare another major disaster for Texas counties impacted by last night’s storms. Brady, in contact with local officials throughout his district, said new damage in Montgomery, Grimes, Walker and Harris counties will require a second, separate declaration from the April 18th flood event.
“These torrential rains are causing more misery for homeowners and businesses, some who are still working to rebuild from the Tax Day floods. With the continued rain this may not be over, but an early assessment shows we will likely need Governor Abbott to declare another disaster so we can help to these families and communities.”
Background: Today, Congressman Brady sent a letter to Governor Abbott requesting that his office act as quickly as possible to determine the level of assistance needed. To read the full letter click here.
