Resources for Cumberland and Metcalfe county flooding From Hailey Martin Kentucky House Majority Caucus Frankfort, KY - As Kentuckians recover from the recent flooding, it is important to remember the resources available to those in crisis. Cumberland and Metcalfe County, represented by State Representative Amy Neighbors (R-Edmonton), both declared states of emergencies over the past weekend. 10 inches of rain fell in Cumberland County and over 7 inches of rain impacted Metcalfe County. "In the aftermath of a natural disaster, I am especially grateful for programs and organizations dedicated to helping victims," said Neighbors. "I want to remind my fellow Kentuckians to stay safe and informed during flood recovery. It will take time, but our communities will be restored." Applying for FEMA assistance is the first step if you were impacted by flooding; to do so, click here: www.disasterassistance.gov. Kentuckians are also encouraged to complete the Disaster Needs Survey in order to help accurately recovery direct resources. It is important to stay up to date on local road conditions and other information through local news outlets. Avoid entering floodwaters and flooded structures, when possible, for your own safety and the safety of those around you. If your home, car, or property was damaged, contact your insurance providers and be sure to document damage for insurance claims. For the U.S. Department of the Interior's flood recovery checklist, click here: flood recovery checklist (PDF). If you were not personally affected by the floods but are looking for a way to help, many organizations are accepting donations for disaster relief. Team Kentucky's Emergency Relief Fund has expanded its impact to include recent flood victims, and organizations such as Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) and Appalachian Crisis Aid are accepting donations supporting flood recovery. SOAR also assists in FEMA applications, replacing documents lost in floodwaters, disaster cleanup, and crisis support.
