The Texas Division of Emergency Management is reminding Texans to report property damage sustained during recent severe weather and flooding by submitting a self-reported online damage assessment survey."When it is safe to do so, Texans are urged to self-report property damage using TDEM’s damage assessment reporting tool," said Texas Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd in a release.
Additionally, survey information aids officials in determining whether the state meets federal requirements for various forms of disaster assistance.Reporting damage through the iSTAT tool is a voluntary activity and is not a substitute for reporting damage to your insurance company. It does not guarantee disaster relief assistance. English and Spanish tutorial videos explaining how to fill out iSTAT surveys are available at damage.tdem.texas.gov.
