News and Media: Disaster 4804

Three mobile Disaster Recovery Centers opened today in Butler, Logan and Whitley counties to assist Kentuckians who experienced loss from the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.

FEMA Individual Assistance is available to Kentucky renters, including students, as well as homeowners in Butler, Caldwell, Calloway, Christian, Clay, Greenup, Hopkins, Knox, Logan, Muhlenberg, Simpson, Todd, Trigg, Warren and Whitley counties who experienced damage or losses caused by the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides. The deadline to apply for FEMA Individual Assistance is Sept. 22, 2024.

Kentucky residents are starting to see FEMA’s crews in neighborhoods helping those affected by the May 21-27 severe weather apply for federal disaster assistance and to identify needs within communities.

The Disaster Legal Services team can help survivors of Kentucky’s April and May severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides write an appeal letter if they choose to submit one with their FEMA appeal documentation. While this letter is not required, the free legal help is offered to those who are interested.

If you applied for FEMA assistance following the May 21-27 storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides, FEMA may be trying to reach you regarding your inspection. The agency will first try calling you to make an appointment, but if you do not answer, you may receive a text message from FEMA.
