| 3/9/2012 | | Those who wish to help the victims of the severe storm damage of March 2, can find out about donating or volunteering at http://kyem.ky.gov. Individuals in approved counties can apply for FEMA assistance at 800-621-FEMA or www.disasterassistance.gov. Suspected disaster fraud should be reported to the National Center for Disaster Fraud at 866-720-5721. Often after disasters, scams will surface that appear to be linked to charities, contractors and others. The Department of Financial Institutions reminds consumers to double check special storm damage “deals” and offers that sound too good to be true.
