US EditionFederal Aid Approved for Indiana, Kentucky Following Storms
KENTUCKY, JUL 21 – Kentucky residents have until July 25 to apply for FEMA aid following April floods and May tornadoes that caused 20 deaths and triggered $56 million in federal recovery funds.
- On July 22, 2025, Governor Andy Beshear announced that President Donald Trump had authorized $56 million in federal aid to assist Kentucky communities impacted by severe flooding in April and tornadoes in May.
- This approval came after deadly storms in the spring months of April and May, including a tornado with wind speeds reaching 170 mph that struck Laurel, Pulaski, and Russell counties, resulting in 20 fatalities.
- The aid will provide Public Assistance for nearly 65 counties impacted by flooding on April 2 and 36 counties affected by tornadoes during May 16-17, with a July 25 deadline to apply for FEMA support.
- Congressman Andy Barr emphasized collaboration with Kentucky officials and expressed appreciation for the president's leadership, describing the disaster aid as a positive development for those in Kentucky who are continuing to recover from recent storms.
- This assistance is intended to support communities in rebuilding damaged infrastructure and aid recovery efforts, which Beshear estimates could total several hundred million dollars in areas such as London and Somerset.
