RECOVERY PROGRESS – MORE THAN $27 MILLION PROVIDED IN KENTUCKY

 	* FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program has paid more than $18.9
million in flood insurance claims in Kentucky. Some 630 claims have
been submitted. (A major disaster declaration is not required for
flood-insurance claims, which may be submitted from any county.)
 
 	* For losses not covered by insurance, FEMA has approved nearly $5
million in Individual Assistance disaster grants for Kentucky
homeowners and renters. Grants may help survivors with rent, home
repairs, home replacement and other disaster- related needs such as
personal property, childcare, and medical and dental expenses. More
than 800 households have been approved.
 
 	* The U.S. Small Business Administration has approved 75
low-interest disaster loans for more than $3.4 million.
