FEMA extends deadline for tornado survivors to register to March 13

Homeowners and renters with uninsured or underinsured damage to their property from the Dec. 10-11 tornadoes in Barren, Caldwell, Christian, Fulton, Graves, Hart, Hickman, Hopkins, Logan, Lyon, Marion, Marshall, Muhlenberg, Ohio, Taylor and Warren counties have another month to apply for FEMA disaster assistance.

FEMA has extended its application deadline to Sunday, March 13 . Those who have already applied to FEMA for their Dec. 10-11 tornado damage need not apply again.

FEMA disaster assistance is not a substitute for insurance and cannot compensate for all losses caused by the tornadoes. The assistance is intended to meet basic needs and supplement disaster recovery efforts.

Survivors are encouraged to file insurance claims for damage to their homes, personal property and vehicles before they apply for FEMA assistance.
