Program Summary

Disaster Profile

On June 20, 2018, intense tropical rains from the Gulf of Mexico bucketed down on the Texas coast, triggering severe flash flooding that overran local communities. With water levels reaching shoulder height, homes were engulfed in water, which resulted in significant damage, while many roads became uncrossable, which posed difficulty in reaching the families who were affected. The Governor of Texas declared a state of emergency for 5 counties including one of the hardest hit, Hidalgo County.

Our Work

The All Hands and Hearts Rapid Response team quickly assessed the situation and set up a response program in Hidalgo County where we helped communities to restore homes. Our work was centered around debris removal, mucking and gutting and mold sanitation.
