On Monday, Governor Andy Beshear provided a new update on the storm response. He said the most accurate number of lives lost now stands at 76, and added that there continues to be no one listed as missing from the storm, no active search or rescue operations are underway.

As of Monday morning, the relief fund which was set up by the Beshear administration to help those in Western Kentucky impacted by the devastating tornadoes that hit the region on December 10th has received 112,079 donations totaling $21,483,814.

Kentuckians that were displaced by the tornadoes are being lodged at Kentucky State Resort Parks. Currently there are 226 state park rooms occupied by displaced Kentuckians and 92 rooms have been provided for first responders. Kentucky State parks will be looking for volunteers after the New Year to help with dining room, kitchen, housekeeping, and laundry as well as some maintenance work assistance. Those interested in volunteering should contact Andy Kasitz via email at andy.kasitz@ky.gov and provide the following information; your name, cell phone number, the name of parks at which you wish to volunteer and your availability.
