News and Media: Disaster 4804

Today two mobile Disaster Recovery Centers are open in Clay and Warren counties to assist Kentucky survivors who experienced loss from the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.

To better serve disaster survivors, FEMA has recently implemented significant updates to its Individual Assistance program. These updates apply to Kentuckians who were affected by the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides. The revised program offers new benefits, expanded eligibility, and a simplified application process.

Disaster Recovery Centers will open in Hopkins and Muhlenberg counties on July 30 to assist Kentucky survivors who experienced loss from the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.

The President declared a major disaster for the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides, making Individual Assistance and Public Assistance available for the designated counties in Kentucky. Below are some differences between these two programs.

FEMA is supporting the recovery efforts of multiple disasters in Kentucky. Disaster survivors affected by multiple disasters should apply with FEMA separately for each individual disaster. When applying for FEMA assistance, be sure to specify the damage and the date it occurred to ensure you are applying under the correct declaration number.
