The governor also visited Jacksboro and Crockett, where he met with local officials from communities impacted by tornadoes.
He thanked local officials and emergency responders for helping Texans throughout the night and “reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring Jacksboro, Crockett, and other impacted communities have the necessary resources to assist in their recovery efforts.”Nine people suffered minor injuries and 80 homes were damaged, Jacksboro Police said on Tuesday.
Texans are encouraged to complete the Self Reporting Damage Survey to help the state identify damages across Texas and help emergency management officials gain an understanding of damages that occurred during the recent severe weather. This data is also needed to provide information to FEMA to determine the state’s eligibility and highlight the need for federal disaster assistance for individuals.
During his remarks, Gov. Abbott said people in Jacksboro in need of shelter can visit the Twin Lakes Activity Center for assistance. To drop off donations or volunteer, Texans in the Jacksboro community can visit the Jack County Fair Barn . In Crockett, Abbott said that local electricity providers and telecommunication providers are working around the clock to get power and communication services restored in the area.The CBS DFW team is a group of experienced journalists who along with our many CBS 11 reporters, bring you content on CBSDFW.com.
