Have you been impacted by the flood?

If you or your family have been impacted by the recent flood in McCulloch County and surrounding area, Concho Valley Together will work side by side with you to help identify challenges and potential barriers you may be facing as you move through the recovery process/rebuilding process.

To ensure continued long term recovery and help flood survivors access the support they need, Concho Valley Together has partnered with World Renew, a global disaster response organization that provides needs assessments, case management, and long term recovery support after disasters to assist with collecting needs assessments in Brady, Menard, and San Angelo.
Case management is a cooperative team from McCulloch County Long Term Recovery and Concho Valley Together.

Impacted households can either complete the unmet needs assessment online or in person at the Reaource Center:
