FEMA Assistance Reaches $14.3-M
KENTUCKY...
Areas of Kentucky struck by severe storms, flooding and mudslides in July are showing signs of recovery.
To date, more than $14.3 million has been approved in federal disaster assistance
grants and loans for homeowners, renters and business owners. Of that figure,more than $6.2 million has gone to meet housing needs in Pike County, the first county designated for Individual Assistance.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Kentucky Division of Emergency Management
(KYEM) and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) officials have been working
together since President Obama's July 23 disaster declaration, which came two
days after Governor Beshear requested federal help.
