FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Contractors looking to assist tornado victims in western Kentucky must register with local and state officials beginning on Monday, officials said.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron joined local leaders on Sunday to announce the emergency contractor registration program. The program requires contractors to register prior to doing business and to display placards on their job sites and in the contractor’s vehicle.

“Our hope is that launching this contractor registration program in partnership with the City of Mayfield and Graves County will assist Kentuckians with identifying registered contractors and deter unscrupulous contractors from entering the region,” Cameron said in a statement.

Representatives from the Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection will arrive in Mayfield on Monday to assist with the registration process. Contractors must be registered with the city or county before registering with the Attorney General’s Office, officials said.

The program will also provide scam and fraud prevention information to residents affected by a long-track tornado that demolished parts of the community.
