Report storm damage to assist recovery efforts
The survey is not an application for money. It is the first step that decides how much help the state sends.
The City of Weslaco encourages residents who have experienced property damage due to the storm to report it through the Texas Division of Emergency Management iSTAT damage survey.
Submitting a report helps state and local emergency management officials understand the impact of the storm and allocate resources to support recovery across Texas.
Residents can complete the survey at https://damage.tdem.texas.gov. It is quick, easy to complete and secure. Information submitted is used solely to assist emergency response and recovery planning.
By completing the survey, residents document damage to their home or property, help officials assess community needs, and help guide where recovery assistance goes.
This survey is not an application for financial assistance, but it is a critical first step in the disaster assessment process.

What the city’s own front page shows for this
A poster — and the sharpest example on the site. The city wrote this notice out in both English and Spanish, with the URL and a QR code, and then flattened both languages into a 298 KB picture. No overlay or translation plugin can recover it, because there is no text there to translate.
