FRANKFORT, Ky. – Kentucky homeowners in disaster-declared counties whose wells or septic systems were damaged by the April severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides and mudslides may be eligible for financial help from FEMA. Septic systems and wells are generally not covered by flood insurance.

Who may be eligible? 

To be considered eligible for assistance, your pre-disaster primary home must be located in one of the Kentucky counties designated for Individual Assistance: Anderson, Butler, Carroll, Christian, Clark, Franklin, Hardin, Hopkins, Jessamine, McCracken, Mercer, Owen and Woodford. The damage must have occurred during the severe storms that began April 2.

What assistance may be available? 

Eligible services for septic tanks may include cleaning, repairing or replacing the septic system as needed. Awards are also available for the repair or decontamination of private wells that are the sole source of water for a home. 

How can I find out if I may be eligible? 

Check with your homeowner’s and flood insurance providers to determine if your well and/or septic are covered under your policy. Uninsured or underinsured property may be eligible for FEMA assistance.

How to apply for FEMA assistance

FEMA is encouraging Kentuckians affected by the April storms to apply for federal disaster assistance as soon as possible. The deadline to apply is June 25.

You can visit any Disaster Recovery Center to get in-person assistance. No appointment is needed. To find all

Chemists funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation have developed a new process to synthesize a plant-based compound that shows effectiveness against triple-negative breast cancer cells. According to the American Cancer Society, triple-negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer and accounts for 10-15% of all breast cancer cases. The process also increases the compound’s potency against these cancer cells and provides a method for it to be mass-produced to enable further testing as a potential treatment.

The new process can also be used broadly to help discover new medicines by synthesizing and testing other complex organic compounds. The findings were achieved by Emory University researchers and published in The Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The compound — called phaeocaulisin A — is extracted from the flowering plant Curcuma phaeocaulis, a relative of ginger and turmeric used for centuries in traditional medicine.

“We not only efficiently replicated a complex natural product, we also improved upon it by turning it into a more potent compound,” says Mingji Dai, professor of chemistry and co-lead of the study.

“It is only the first step in a long process,” says Yong Wan, professor of pharmacology and chemical biology and study co-lead. “But the new analogue of phaeocaulisin A we have reported shows promising efficacy against triple-negative breast cancer cells, which are very aggressive and
