News and Media: Disaster 4782

FEMA is opening Disaster Recovery Centers this week in four counties to assist Kentucky survivors who experienced loss from the April 2 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.

A Disaster Recovery Center has opened in Boyd County to assist Kentucky survivors who experienced loss from the April 2 severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.

FEMA is offering a wide variety of help to people affected by April 2 severe storms in Kentucky. Every homeowner or renter who suffered damage or loss is encouraged to apply. Money provided by FEMA does not have to be repaid.

FEMA assistance is limited to basic needs; it will not restore all your disaster-related property lost. Insurance coverage is the best means to recover after a natural disaster. However, FEMA and the Commonwealth of Kentucky assistance may repair or replace your disaster-damaged property if you meet the eligibility requirements, and the item(s) fall within any of these categories:

If you live in Boyd, Carter, Fayette, Greenup, Henry, Jefferson, Jessamine, Mason, Oldham, Union, or Whitley County and were affected by the April 2, 2024, severe storms and tornadoes, FEMA may be able to help with temporary housing expenses, basic home repairs or other essential disaster-related needs that are not covered by insurance.
