Kentucky officials are calling for a federal review of areas in the Commonwealth damaged by July flooding and severe storms. The storms that occurred in early July left a large impact on almost two dozen Kentucky counties.
The level of damages that occurred from July 3rd through the 9th warranted a joint assessment from both the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Kentucky Emergency Management.
Twenty-three counties all across the Commonwealth, including Clay, Lawrence, McCracken, and Union all incurred damages from the severe storm system.
Director of Kentucky Emergency Management Michael Dossett says that he is grateful for the personnel from FEMA to help determine assistance for those in affected counties.
The federal and state officials will review damaged areas and expense documents. The impacted counties saw flooding, hail, and even tornado damage during this storm event.
