The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced a major disaster declaration for the Commonwealth of Kentucky due to severe weather events, including storms, winds, tornadoes, and floods, which began on April 2, 2025. Residents in designated counties can apply for disaster loans via the MySBA Loan Portal until June 23, 2025, for physical damages, and until January 26, 2026, for economic injury loans. The declaration includes primary counties like Anderson and Owen and contiguous counties such as Ballard and Marshall. For assistance or more information, affected individuals can contact the SBA Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience.
Simple Explanation
The government is helping people in Kentucky because big storms have caused a lot of damage, and people can ask for special loans to fix things until a certain time. But, they didn't say how much money help is available or exactly how to get it.
