Allen, Monroe, Hart in list of disaster relief counties Governor Beshear announces Kentucky will receive federal disaster relief funds for nine counties for February 5 and 6, flooding, tornado, straight-line wind damage By Monica French Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story from Commonwealth News Center Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear announced Friday, February 22, 2008, that he has been notified that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will make disaster relief aid available due to the tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding from storms that hit the commonwealth on February 5 and 6, 2008. Gov. Beshear had requested a federal disaster declaration shortly after assessing the damage himself on February 6, 2008. FEMA Administrator David Paulison said the declaration was authorized under a disaster declaration issued by President Bush. That will make federal assistance available to individuals and families in Allen, Christian, Fayette, Hardin, Hart, Meade, Mercer, Monroe, and Muhlenberg counties. It is possible more counties and other forms of assistance could be designated following further assessments. "I am pleased that the impacted citizens of Kentucky will be able to seek this federal assistance as they recover from these terrible storms earlier this month," said Gov. Beshear. "The assistance can include grants to help pay for temporary housing, home repairs and other serious disaster-related expenses." Additional low-interest loans through the U.S. Small Business Administration will be available for residential and business losses. According to FEMA, federal funding will be available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation in all counties in Kentucky. Residents and business owners who sustained losses in the designated counties can begin applying for assistance tomorrow by registering online at www.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA(3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (local time) seven days a week until further notice. This story was posted on 2008-02-23 06:00:24
