Flood victims can apply for help using this registration form. Once officials finish assessing damage for a county, they will send invites to homes that qualify for aid through text messages, email, or phone calls before moving to the next county and repeating the process. For Kentucky, outreach began on April 20 and will end on or around May 11. The Red Cross website has examples of damage from other homes that would qualify for assistance, as well as information and resources to help after historic flooding in Kentucky.
