Did you have flood damage?
Have you called FEMA?
Officials from the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management (KYEM), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies and volunteer organizations are actively working to help disaster survivors recover from the severe storms, tornadoes and flooding from April 22 to May 20.
But FEMA can't help you if you don't register.
Even if you reported damage to your local emergency manager, or contacted the Red Cross or other voluntary agencies, you haven't registered for federal disaster assistance. And you don't need to have completed an insurance inspection to start the federal aid process.
Individuals can register by phone by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 800-462-7585 for those who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired. You can also register online at www.disasterassistance.gov or on a smartphone at m.fema.gov. Registering with FEMA will take about 20 minutes.
Federal assistance may include grants for rental assistance and home repairs, and low interest loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration to cover uninsured property losses.
Until you register with FEMA, you cannot receive federal assistance to help you recover.
