The city of Frankfort opened a multi-agency resource center this morning.
City leaders say the center will connect those affected by the flood to local resources to help in the relief and rebuilding process.
Frankfort Mayor Layne Wilkerson posted on social media that FEMA is expected to be at the location once President Trump signs the federal emergency declaration.
However, he's telling people not to wait until then to get help.
Not only will local nonprofits be on site to help answer questions, but so will some national nonprofits like the American Red cross, the Small Business Administration.
For those of you who have had businesses affected by the floods, and once the president signs the Individual Assistance Declaration from FEMA, the FEMA location will also be on site here.
Now, I know that's been getting a lot of press right now in terms of whether the president will sign the FEMA declaration or not.
I'm encouraging our residents to not wait on that and not count on FEMA alone.
We have other resources that are available, including the American Red cross and their eyes.
Franklin County has already qualified for individual assistance.
You can call one 800 Red cross to get your name, and so they can start helping you get assistance.
Now I'll put the link in the comments of this video and they will be on site at this resource center going forward.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m..
