Residents affected by the May 26 tornado in southern Trigg and Christian counties can meet with FEMA representatives at Disaster Recovery Centers opening this week in Hopkinsville and Cadiz.
The Christian County mobile center will be open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Hopkinsville Public Works Complex, 705 N. Main St.
The Trigg County center has the same hours at the Trigg County Emergency Operations Center, 39 Jefferson St.
Representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency will assist homeowners and renters with applications for assistance and provide information about additional disaster recovery help, according to a press release from FEMA and Kentucky Emergency Management.
“FEMA financial assistance may include money for basic home repairs or other uninsured, disaster-related needs, such as childcare, transportation, medical needs, funeral or dental expenses,” the release states. “In addition to FEMA personnel, representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration and agencies from the Commonwealth will be available to assist survivors.”
