STATEHOUSE (Sept. 14, 2026) – Two one-stop shop flood relief centers will be open in Fayette County and Franklin County this week to help residents access valuable resources as they recover from the recent floods, said State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg).
One-stop shops bring members of various federal and state agencies together to answer questions and provide information about the resources available to those impacted by the recent flooding, including applying for individual assistance from FEMA and help finding temporary housing.
The Franklin County one-stop shop will be at the Metamora Church of God from Sept. 16-18, open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. The Fayette County one-stop shop will be at the Connersville Baptist Temple on Sep. 17 and 18 and open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Saturday, Sept. 19, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“By visiting these local one-stop shops, residents will be able to see everything that is available to help them in the recovery process and receive support applying for FEMA’s individual assistance program,” Leising said. “Connecting residents with these resources is critical for recovery, and I highly encourage anyone affected by the floods to take advantage of the help here locally.”
Please share this information with anyone who has been affected by the flood.
