Homeowners and renters in Anderson, Butler, Carroll, Christian, Clark, Franklin, Hardin, Hopkins, Jessamine, McCracken, Mercer, Owen and Woodford counties are encouraged to apply.

• Computing Devices: Funds to cover replacement of one personal or family computer. Funds for additional computers required for work or school may be approved.
• Accessible Items: FEMA also provides assistance for damaged personal property required for qualified applicants with disabilities. 

Conditions for Eligibility

To be eligible, the item(s) must meet the following criteria:

• Items must have been owned prior to April 2 and be damaged by the flooding.
• Items were owned and in use by occupants of the pre-disaster household.
• Items must not be furnishings and/or appliances provided by a landlord.

FEMA may not repair or replace a storm-damaged item if residents own a similar item that works.

How To Apply for FEMA Assistance

The first step to receive FEMA assistance is to apply. Survivors of the April storms who live in the designated counties have until June 25 to apply for assistance. 

You can apply in several ways:

• Apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov.
• Visit any Disaster Recovery Center. To find a center close to you, visit fema.gov/DRC, or text DRC along with your Zip Code to 43362 (Example: “DRC 29169”).

If your insurance doesn’t cover all your storm-related vehicle damage, FEMA may be able to provide financial assistance to help fill the gap.

The first step is to file a claim with your insurance company if you have a comprehensive policy. This type of policy usually covers storm-related damage to a vehicle. Apply with FEMA even if you have insurance.

• The applicant can provide proof of ownership of the vehicle with valid registration and title.
• The vehicle was in compliance with Kentucky’s registration and insurance requirements at the time of the disaster.
• The applicant has no other usable vehicle.

Applicants with more than one storm-damaged vehicle, must write a statement explaining why the household needs more than one working vehicle. The statement should include the number of vehicles and an insurance settlement or statement for each vehicle.

 

How To Apply for FEMA Assistance

Survivors in the Anderson, Butler, Carroll, Christian, Clark, Franklin, Hardin, Hopkins, Jessamine, McCracken, Mercer, Owen and Woodford counties who have disaster-caused damage or loss from the April storm can apply for federal disaster assistance under the major disaster declaration DR-4864 in several ways:

• Use the FEMA mobile app.
• FEMA works with every household on a case-by-case basis.
• Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. It is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time. Help is available in many languages. If you use a relay service, such as Video Relay Service (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.

FEMA Alert: Watch for Fraud After April Storms in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. – If you are a survivor of Kentucky April storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, floods, landslides and mudslides, you may also be a target of con artists and criminals who try to obtain money or steal personal information.

Protect Your Identity

In some cases, thieves try to apply for FEMA assistance using names, addresses and Social Security numbers they have stolen from survivors.

• If a FEMA inspector comes to your home and you did not submit a FEMA application, your information may have been used without your knowledge to create a FEMA application. If so, please inform the inspector that you did not apply for FEMA assistance, so the inspector can submit a request to stop further processing of the application.
• If you did not apply for assistance, but received a letter from FEMA, please call the FEMA Helpline at 
  800-621-3362. The Helpline will submit a request to stop any further processing of that application.
• If you do wish to apply for FEMA assistance after stopping an application made in your name without your knowledge, the Helpline will assist you in creating a new application.

Identify Legitimate FEMA Staff

FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance teams, housing inspectors and other officials are working in areas impacted 
by the April severe storms throughout Kentucky. They carry official identification badges with photo. FEMA representatives never charge applicants for disaster assistance, inspections or help in filling out applications. 

• Don’t believe anyone who promises a disaster grant in return for payment.
• Don’t give your banking information to a person claiming to be a FEMA housing inspector. FEMA inspectors never collect your personal financial information. 

Report Scams and Fraud

If you believe you are the victim of a scam report it immediately to your local police or sheriff’s department, or contact the Office of the Attorney General by calling 502-696-5485 or visit its website at Natural Disaster Scams - Kentucky Attorney General. To file a fraud complaint, go online to Scam Report (kentucky.gov).

If you suspect fraudulent activity involving FEMA, you can report it to the FEMA Fraud Branch at:  StopFEMAFraud@fema.dhs.gov, or write to: FEMA Fraud and Internal Investigation Division, 
400 C Street SW Mail Stop 3005, Washington, DC 20472-3005.

If you suspect identity theft, please visit Identity Theft | FTC Consumer Information or IdentityTheft.gov.

FEMA Offers Assistance for April Storm Survivors in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. – FEMA is offering a wide variety of help to people affected by the April 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 can provide money to eligible applicants for help with serious needs, paying for a temporary place to live, home repairs and other needs not covered by insurance.

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.

Money provided by FEMA may include:

• Serious Needs: Money for lifesaving and life-sustaining items, including water, food, first aid, prescriptions, infant formula, breastfeeding supplies, diapers, consumable medical supplies, durable medical equipment, personal hygiene items and fuel for transportation.
• Displacement: Money to help with housing needs if you cannot return to your home because of the disaster. The money can be used to stay in a hotel, with family and friends or other options while you look for a rental unit.
• Home Repair or Replacement: Money to help you repair or replace your home damaged by the disaster. The money can also help with pre-existing damage to parts of your home where the disaster caused further damage.
• Rental Assistance: Money you can use to rent housing if you are displaced from your home because of the disaster.
• Personal Property: Money to help you repair or replace appliances, room furnishings, and a personal or family computer damaged by the disaster. This can also include money for books, uniforms, tools, additional computers and other items required for school or work, including self-employment.
• Child Care: Money to help you pay for increased or childcare expenses caused by the disaster.
• Transportation: Money to help you repair or replace a vehicle damaged by the disaster when you don’t have another vehicle you can use.
• Moving and Storage Expenses: Money to help you move and store personal property from your home to prevent additional damage.

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.

How To Apply for FEMA Assistance

Survivors in the Anderson, Butler, Carroll, Christian, Clark, Franklin, Hardin, Hopkins, Jessamine, McCracken, Mercer, Owen and Woodford counties who have disaster-caused damage or loss from the April storm can apply for federal disaster assistance under the major disaster declaration DR-4864 in several ways:
