2024 Texas Panhandle Wildfire Relief Resources

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is working through our Extension county agents and Disaster Assessment & Recovery Unit, DAR, to help the residents of the Texas Panhandle who sustained losses as a result of the wildfires beginning February 26, 2024.

Wildfire Relief for the Texas Panhandle is being coordinated through a combination of local and state resources. Our agency will continue to make regular updates to the list of local agricultural resources and contacts below.

Additionally, our agency is coordinating with county judges and local emergency management officials to vet and designate county-specific resources for monetary donations/gifts.

This information is also available as a PDF download for easy distribution.
