The first days of April are a reminder that Spring is just around the corner.
Warmer weather brings a spring thaw, rainy days, and flooding.
FEMA is committed to helping Americans protect themselves from the threat of floods and other natural hazards. You can't prevent disasters, but you can help people to be better prepared by understanding the need to purchase flood insurance. More than one million dollars in assistance has been approved as federal, state, local and volunteer agencies work together to help Texas residents recover from the ice storms that took place from Dec. 12 to Jan. 15. With the change of administration, FEMA has temporarily designated individuals to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of the political appointees. The City of Amarillo, along with Potter and Randall Counties, has been selected to participate in a FEMA program to improve the community's emergency response procedures.
