President Donald Trump granted a major disaster declaration for Kentucky following severe storms and flooding.
The action will provide federal funding for individuals in impacted areas. This help can include grants for temporary housing and other programs to help individuals and businesses recover.
Federal funding will also be available to the Commonwealth, local governments, and certain nonprofit organizations.
“President Trump clearly understands that when Americans are in need, we all have to act together,” Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton said in a statement. “Starting with his decisive action on February 16 that allowed us to activate search and rescue assets and other emergency efforts to save lives to his major declaration, I know the people of Kentucky value his leadership which will now open up the full suite of FEMA support to those impacted.”
