Just after 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM) announced that those who have suffered damage or loss in the tornadoes and storms that struck Kentucky on May 16 can visit the Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) at the Center for Rural Development in Somerset to take important steps toward recovery.
According to officials, representatives from KYEM and other partner agencies will be available at the center's auditorium to help with home damage assessments, shelter, transportation needs, and more. There will also be team members available to help replace documents such as birth certificates and social security cards, which will reportedly be essential for storm victims who become eligible for federal help through FEMA.
'Governor Andy Beshear has asked President Donald Trump for a Major Disaster Declaration; that would authorize FEMA Individual & Household Assistance for survivors in Caldwell, Christian, Laurel, Pulaski, Russell, Todd, Trigg and Union Counties,' KYEM officials said.
