The U.S. Small Business Administration has amended the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for Kentucky, originally declared on February 24, 2025. This disaster was caused by severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides starting from February 14, 2025. The amendment now includes Floyd County as an area eligible for both physical damage and economic injury loans, while the contiguous counties eligible for economic injury loans remain unchanged. Deadlines for loan applications are April 25, 2025, for physical damage and November 24, 2025, for economic injury.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government is helping people in Kentucky because storms and floods caused damage there. Now, they added a place called Floyd County to the list of areas that can get help fixing things and to support businesses that lost money.
