FRANKFORT - Homeowners, businesses and renters in Kentucky have been approved for more than $10 million in disaster aid, federal officials said Thursday.
Much of the state suffered damages from spring storms that spawned tornados and floods.
So far, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it has received 5,838 applications since the disaster declaration June 10.
FEMA said 77 Kentucky counties have been declared disaster areas resulting from the storms that hit beginning May 26.
FEMA has approved $5.7 million for housing assistance and $3.6 million for disaster-related expenses such as medical and transportation-related assistance.
The U.S. Small Business Administration has approved $717,000 in low-interest disaster loans and received 3,021 applications to date.
Those seeking assistance must register with FEMA at (800) 621-3362.
