'We're trying to make it as easy as possible to get the benefits, and get back to normal,' the mayor of Pasadena, Jeff Wagner, said.
"We're trying to make it as easy as possible to get the benefits, and get back to normal," the Mayor of Pasadena, Jeff Wagner, said.More help has arrived for storm-ravaged neighbors in Deer Park and Pasadena. The Joint Disaster Assistance Recovery Center has opened at Pasadena Convention Center to provide a central resource hub as locals pick up the pieces from this week's tornadoes.
This has been the worst week of their lives for Rosalez and her neighbors. Most only had minutes to spare before the tornado hit. "All you heard was just the house just shaking and the windows, then you heard explosions, boom, boom, boom," Rosalez continued. The mayors of Deer Park and Pasadena teamed up with various agencies to make the Joint Disaster Assistance Recovery Center happen. There are people on hand who can physically help people submit damage claims and walk them through the next steps.Local leaders say that is the first step. They are getting accurate assessments from the state and FEMA, who've asked for data on the damaged sustained.
FEMA and other officials will be on the ground Saturday to assess the damage. Once they know precisely what they're working with and get the documentation and assessments from locals, they'll be able to move forward.
