Water emergency? Find your county's guide.

County-by-county guidance built on federal disaster, flood-claims, and storm records. Currently covering Texas.

In immediate danger from water and electricity, leave the area and call 911.

Why trust this site

Built from federal records

Guides draw on FEMA disaster declarations, NFIP flood-claims statistics, NOAA storm events, and the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System.

Dated and sourced

Every statistic on every county page carries its as-of date and the agency it came from.

Documented sourcing and data thresholds

We publish statistics that meet our documented sourcing and data-threshold rules. Some counties are not published because the available records are too thin to support the page.

What to do right now

  1. Make the area safe

    Keep clear of any water near outlets, cords, or your electrical panel. Switch power off only from a dry location — never while standing in water; if you can't do that safely, leave it on and call an electrician or emergency services. When in doubt, stay out and call 911.

  2. Stop the water

    Shut off the nearest supply valve, or the main shutoff where the line enters the home. For a supply or meter emergency, your utility's line, printed on your water bill, is the fastest help.

  3. Document for insurance

    Before you clean up, take wide and close photos and a short video of the damage and its source. Save receipts for anything you buy to limit further damage.

  4. Call for the right help

    For active flooding, water extraction, or drying, a restoration contractor can start work.

How Countyguard works

Countyguard is an independent information service. We publish one page per Texas county with practical, safety-first guidance for a home water emergency. Countyguard is a brand of Eldhurst LLC. We are not a restoration company, an insurer, or a government agency.

Our county data comes from public federal records: FEMA disaster declarations, NFIP flood-claims statistics, NOAA storm events, and the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System. The data is updated on a fixed schedule, and every figure carries its as-of date and source. When a county's records are too thin to be useful, we do not publish a guide for it.

Questions or complaints: support@countyguard.com. Mailing address: Eldhurst LLC, 82 Wendell Ave STE 100, Pittsfield, MA 01201 (mailing address only).
