No financial assistance in store for storm victims Guadalupe County residents to pick up the pieces themselves Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Redwood) -- At least one family continues to seek the aid of an American Red Cross shelter that was set up earlier this week in northern Guadalupe County. The shelterin-place was put into operation following Thursday’s storm damage. Carmen Davila, the public information officer for Guadalupe County, says the shelter is operating out of St. Joseph Mission Church in Redwood. The church is a sister congregation of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church here in Seguin. Davila says the shelter has been providing 24-hour assistance -servicing the family with cots, food and water. She says the American Red Cross has also been actively working to find a more permanent solution for the area family.
Meanwhile, finding help for not only this family but all others in the county who sustained damage to homes, businesses or agricultural lands will be even more important That’s according to Davila who says unfortunately, Guadalupe County will not be receiving any FEMA assistance. “Unfortunately, right now, what we are looking at -- is that we are not meeting the level to get financial assistance but it is still important for people to report those numbers so that as we have other disasters throughout the year, those collectively add up. (That) is how emergency management was explaining it so if there are fires in the summer or more storms, those all add up to try to meet those disaster numbers,” said Davila. Storm, pg. 3
