Gov. Beshear provided an update on Eastern Kentucky’s recovery and rebuilding efforts. The death toll from the floods has now risen to 45. This total includes Vanessa Baker of Breathitt County, who has been missing since the flooding occurred in July.

Currently, 226 families are housed in travel trailers. Kentucky State Parks are now housing 24 people, down from the 360 people sheltered on Sept. 1, 2022.

If flood victims need help, they should call FEMA directly or visit a Multi-Agency Resource Center. Visit governor.ky.gov/FloodResources for more information. FEMA is still approving claims and actively working to help flood victims.

The Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund has raised over $13.1 million from more than 41,500 donors. To contribute, click here.
