FEMA running disaster recovery centers for Memorial Day storm victims through end of week
Republished from WEKU.
FEMA is running Disaster Recovery Centers across Kentucky this week to help assist victims of the Memorial Day severe storms.
It comes as part of a federal disaster declaration. The centers will help victims with financial assistance for home repairs or other, uninsured losses.
Centers in Caldwell, Trigg, Greenup, Hopkins County and Muhlenberg counties are running until the end of the week, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mobile centers in Bowling Green, Hopkinsville and Corbin are also running.
FEMA spokesperson Gerard Hamminks says in-person visits can help those who are struggling to get through the process.
“Just by having that dialog with someone that’s right in front of you, they can help guide you through the various types of assistance.”
Those affected can also apply for assistance by calling 800-621-3362, visiting disasterassistance dot gov or downloading the FEMA mobile app.
