The Texas Division of Emergency Management has a way for residents to report their damage through their damage assessment report tool, called iSTAT (Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool).
The iSTAT form is available in both English and Spanish. There are also instructions in both English and Spanish.
When you are on the website, make sure you select "April 26-Ongoing Severe weather event threat."
According to the state, filling the form out helps them determine how the extent of the damage. It also helps identify immediate needs.
iSTAT is not a substitute for reporting damage to your insurance company and reporting damage through iSTAT doesn’t guarantee disaster relief help, according to the state.
