Casualty loss deduction Form4684

I used the FEMA DR-4586 Texas ice storm on my 2021 taxes for FMV reduction (form 4684).
Can I use this again for 2022 tax year for something that had a delayed effect from DR-4586 event to also cause a FMV reduction for 2022?

Casualty loss deduction Form4684

no. the disaster occurred in 2021 so you should amend 2021.

from IRS PUB 547 2021 version. 2022 doe not seem to be available. 

 When to deduct the loss. You must generally deduct a casualty loss in the disaster year. However, if you have a casualty loss from a federally declared disaster that occurred in an area warranting public or individual assistance (or both), you can elect to deduct that loss on your return or amended return for the tax year immediately preceding the disaster year. If you make this election, the loss is treated as having occurred
in the preceding year. A list of areas warranting public or individual assistance (or both) is available at the FEMA website at FEMA.gov/Disasters.
You must make the election to take your casualty loss for the disaster in the preceding year on or before the date that is 6 months after the regular due date for filing your original return (without extensions) for the disaster year. If you are a calendar year taxpayer, you have until October 15, 2021, to amend your 2019 tax return to claim a casualty loss that occurred during 2020.
