News and Media: Disaster 4630

FEMA continues working with federal, commonwealth, local as well as non-governmental agencies to support needs of survivors affected by the recent tornado outbreak in Kentucky.

Survivors should be aware that con artists and criminals may try to obtain money or steal personal information through fraud or identity theft after disaster. In some cases, thieves try to apply for FEMA assistance using names, addresses and Social Security numbers they have stolen from survivors.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell announced today that President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. made additional federal emergency aid available to the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the areas affected by severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding and tornadoes beginning Dec. 10, 2021.

Two FEMA mobile registration centers are now open in Dawson Springs and Mayfield to help tornado survivors apply for FEMA assistance.

Residents of Caldwell, Fulton, Graves, Hopkins, Marshall, Muhlenberg, Taylor and Warren counties in Kentucky who were affected by severe storms and tornadoes beginning Dec. 10, 2021, may apply for FEMA disaster assistance.
