Help is still only a phone call away if you’ve filed for federal assistance for damage or losses you suffered in the severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides of February 14 to March 7, 2025.

KYEM & FEMA Individual Assistance Specialists are answering survivors’ calls in the Commonwealth’s Unmet Needs Call Center at 502-607-6665.

The deadlines to file claims have passed, but if you’ve already applied, you’ll find experienced agents to review your case.

• Make an appointment to meet in person.
• Check the status of appeals or confirm processing decisions,
• Confirm whether FEMA has received documents you submitted,
• Find out whether you need to submit more information to determine whether you’re eligible for help,
