The President announced the approval via TruthSocial earlier tonight. Kentuckians in these counties are eligible for PA under the FEMA designation: Bullitt, Butler, Clinton, Cumberland, Garrard, Grayson, Green, Hardin, Henderson, Jackson, Jessamine, Madison, Meade, Mercer, Metcalfe, Ohio, Owsley, Rockcastle, Spencer, and Wayne. Congressman Barr led the Kentucky Congressional Delegation in urging an approval of the FEMA request from Kentucky earlier this year in a letter to the President. “I just informed Andy Barr that I am approving 9.1 Million Dollars for severe storms, winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, that they are recovering from. The Great People of Kentucky are resilient, smart, and tough, and I am with them all the way,” President Trump said in-part. “Tonight, I spoke with President Trump over the phone. I am grateful that after I advocated for FEMA relief to recover from difficult storms that hit Kentucky earlier this summer, President Trump is approving $9.1M in federal funds to Kentucky,” said Congressman Barr. “I will always fight to deliver for the people of our Commonwealth.” | 1 | 2026-09-02T09:19:58Z | 2026-09-02T09:20:51Z |
