Although the storm that devastated the City of Richland Springs and the surrounding unincorporated area was certainly a major disaster to our county it does not rise to the required affected area level for FEMA.

We have issued a Disaster Declaration Notice and request for assistance to the Governor’s office for all those affected by the storm. We are uncertain as to what aid the state is able to offer, but we hope to at least get access to SBA loans with their very low interest rates and long-term payback.
