Texas Governor Greg Abbott has expanded his disaster declaration relating to the ice storm that hit parts of the state in late January and early February.
"The addition of these counties to our disaster declaration will ensure Texas communities have all resources available to them as they continue to recover from this storm," he said.
The original disaster declaration covered Denton, Hays, Henderson, Milam, Smith, Travis, and Williamson counties. The expanded declaration covers Anderson, Bastrop, Blanco, Burleson, Burnet, Caldwell, Delta, Falls, Hopkins, Hunt, Kendall, Lamar, Lee, Leon, Red River, Robertson, and Shelby counties. Those are in east, north and central Texas.
The Governor is also urging anyone who suffered damage during the ice storm to report it using the state's on-line system called iSTAT.
