FEMA SUPPORTING MULTIPLE DISASTERS IN KENTUCKY
[https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20240725/fema-supporting-multiple-disasters-kentucky]

FRANKFORT, KY. – 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.

Homeowners and renters in Greenup and Whitley counties can apply for
federal assistance under:

	* DR-4782-KY for the April 2 severe storms, straight-line winds,
tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.
	* DR-4804-KY for the May 21-27 severe storms, straight-line winds,
tornadoes, landslides and mudslides.

When two or more disasters are declared in the same state, FEMA
ensures survivors receive all eligible assistance while preventing a
duplication of federal benefits. If you have property damage or loss
from the April 2 severe incident, and then again from the May 21-27
severe incident, you will need to complete two separate disaster
assistance applications.

Homeowners and renters who were affected by DR-4804-KY have 60 days
after the President declared the disaster on July 23 to apply for
property loss or damage caused by the May 21-27 incident. 

While the application deadline has passed for DR-4782-KY, homeowners
and renters who still need to apply with FEMA for the April 2 incident
may request a late application no later than Sept. 19.

Survivors in the designated counties who have disaster-caused damage
or loss from either storm can apply for federal disaster assistance in
several ways:

	* Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Help is available in most
languages. The toll-free numbers are open daily from 7 a.m. to
midnight EST.
	* Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov
[http://www.disasterassistance.gov].
	* Download the FEMA mobile app
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-products].

Assistance from FEMA may include grants for temporary housing while
you are unable to live in your home, such as temporary housing
assistance or reimbursement for hotel costs for both owners and
renters, and grants for disaster-caused expenses and serious needs,
such as repair or replacement of personal property and vehicles, funds
for moving and storage, medical, dental, childcare and other
miscellaneous items.

FEMA assistance may also be provided for repair or replacement of
owner-occupied homes that serve as the household’s primary
residence, including privately owned access routes, such as driveways,
roads or bridges. 

Applicants should keep their current contact information on file with
FEMA as the agency may need to schedule a home inspection or get
additional information.

Disaster assistance is not a substitute for insurance and cannot
compensate for all losses caused by a disaster. The assistance is
intended to meet basic needs and supplement disaster recovery efforts.

severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides and
mudslides, please visit fema.gov/disaster/4804
