In response to the Memorial Day weekend storms and to enhance preparedness for potential future events, Team Kentucky is relaunching its “Disaster Needs Survey” registration portal.
According to state officials, the Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM) initiative helps survivors register for emergency shelters and other vital support services while capturing information about additional unmet needs for assistance.
The establishment of the new Disaster Needs Survey ensures residents have a reliable resource for current and future disaster-related needs. Kentucky Emergency Management will use the data collected from this tool, in collaboration with local Emergency Management partners, to better address individual needs and to facilitate timely assistance.
State officials noted that following the portal’s successful use during the Eastern Kentucky floods in the 2022 Federal Declaration, Kentucky Emergency Management has enhanced the system to make it more effective and user-friendly. The portal was instrumental in coordinating emergency response efforts, ensuring affected individuals received timely assistance and shelter.
