Applicants are required to inform FEMA of all insurance coverage such as flood, homeowners, renter's, etc. that may be available to them. Insured applicants must provide FEMA documentation such as an insurance settlement or denial letter to process their application.

    For any community members who believe they are positive or symptomatic for COVID-19, we recommend the following:
    - If you are having a medical emergency please visit the closest emergency room or contact 911. If possible, please notify the emergency room that you are on your way so they can prepare for your arrival. Emergency room staff and physicians will screen patients and make a determination if testing for COVID-19 is necessary based on guidelines by the CDC.
    - If you are not having an emergency, but have symptoms that you would like to be seen for, please contact your primary care physician and tell your provider that you have or may have coronavirus-like symptoms. Your primary care physician will make recommendations on testing for COVID-19.
    - If you are unable to contact your primary care provider or don’t have a primary care provider and would like to be seen in an urgent care, CHI St. Joseph Health has set up a respiratory clinic in South College Station for the treatment and care of patients who are experiencing respiratory-related symptoms. The CHI St. Joseph Health Respiratory Clinic is located at 4421 Hwy 6 South, Ste. 100, College Station, Texas 77845. Physicians and staff will screen patients and make a determination if testing for COVID-19 is necessary based on guidelines by the CDC.
