      State and local officials must submit a request for a federal disaster declaration solely at the discretion of the president. Once the president declares Houston and other areas a disaster area, then federal funds are disbursed to those areas for cleanup and other necessary services. The lieutenant governor is correct.

I have a 4,500 watt generator, 3,000 watt power station, everybody has their own personal power station, and 50 gallons of extra gas. I think I need to look into solar power and/or save to have a whole house generac hooked up to the house. If I was in Texas I’d be suffering when I run out of gas! My generators have saved me SO many times but that’s because the power always comes back on after 3 days at the most. I’ve never been tested for a week with my plans. I even fill my freezer with ice for the food so I don’t have to hook it up to the generator too long.

The residents are more important than business, but business is still very important.
