IKE: Gov. Beashear issues a state of emergency Adair County spared brunt of storm, but some strong winds down trees; both the Adair County Road Department and Kentucky Highway Department crews called out to clear four county roads, six state highways, on Sunday Gov. Steve Beshear this evening declared a state of emergency for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, an order that provides the necessary authorization to take a broad range of steps to ensure safety in the wake of calamitous storms that impacted much of the state Sunday. Adair County was spared the brunt of the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, as disastrous weather impacted Western Kentucky and counties along the Ohio River. In Adair County, there was some rain and brief moments of high winds, requiring the Adair County Road Department to clear four county roads:
Gov. Beshear's order lets communities in the harder hit areas to take 'whatever steps necessary' "With this state of emergency order, we can take whatever steps necessary to support first responders in communities across the state, provide resources at the state level to ensure safety and, if necessary, request federal assistance," Beshear said Sunday evening. "The people of Kentucky need to know that their emergency responders - from the local to the state and federal levels - are prepared to do everything within our power to provide the necessary assistance to meet this challenge."Specifically, the state of emergency order authorizes the governor to, among other things:
"We cannot undo some of the tragic consequences of today's storms," Gov. Beshear said. "But we can quickly and effectively lend the proper and appropriate assistance to help our fellow Kentuckians during this incredibly challenging time. Today's actions at both the local and state levels, along with this state of emergency order, give us the full range of tools at our disposal to provide the right level of assistance at a moment's notice."
