Governor Andy Beshear on Monday said FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers are open in eight of the first 13 counties approved for Individual Assistance for April flooding and storms, and the remaining five are expected to open by April 30.
Families in any of the 13 approved counties can visit any DRC for recovery assistance and to apply for federal aid.
In Hardin County, the local Disaster Recovery Center will be located at Kentucky State Police Post Four, located at 954 Cameron Ponder Drive in Elizabethtown. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. The location of other centers can be found at fema.gov/drc.
Hardin County Emergency Management says: “FEMA representatives can explain available assistance programs, how to apply to FEMA, and help connect survivors with resources for their recovery needs.” No appointment is needed to visit a center.
Residents and business owners who sustained losses in the approved counties may begin applying for assistance at www.disasterassistance.gov, by calling FEMA at 1-800-621-3362, or by using the FEMA app. When applying, make sure you are applying for the correct designation (April Flood DR-4864).
The governor said additional counties are expected to be added to the Major Disaster Declaration via amendment after additional assessments are complete.
